Sounds good tome, if others are hunting around me I'd make a trail only I could detect. In my area in Maine, I'd push through to the stand for sure with a buck in front of me. I've done so several times and twice had the bucks push past and bed near my stand, within sight. They are certainly curious and if you're quite but not undetected, they might just stick around to figure you out. Don't start using a grunt until you are certain he is gone, or he'll figure you for sure and stay clear of your stand.
