Default Walking in question

Ihunt in a very high pressured public hunting area..To see a deer from your stand you have to be a semi pro.I am hunting with a scoped 30-30

Ok here is what happened..My stand is a good 1 mile deep in a swamp..The first 3/4 is easy walking..the last 1/4 is a hammock..not to thick but lots of trees and palmettoes leading me to my chained up Summit that is over looking the outside of the innner swamp..

QUESTION Here is what happened last year..Daylight is 7:00 ..At 5:45 I'm slowly making my way through the hammock.My Summit stand is 75 yds ahead of me..locked ot a bay tree.
I hear deer ahead of me..about 5o yds..
Should I ....

A. Continue walking in slow..since Florida swamps are hard to see at any distance on the ground anyway..hoping to see other deer later.

B.Stop right there and stay for the entire hunt.hoping for the best..but knowing the fartherest I can see is maybe 20 yds at best.[:-]

C. Stop right there till day light and then creep quietly to the stand for the remainder of the hunt..

Still learning,

What would you do..?
