In Texas, trespassing with a weapon is a state felony. Let's see... getting caught, spending thousands in legal fees and fines, loss of voting rights, acquiring a criminal record, and maybe even a stretch in Huntsville vs walking an extra couple hundred yards? Duh.
Not to mention getting shot by a pissed off land owner
The stand is already hung, and I did it through my land and I know I can get to it if I plan it right and not spook anything. I have already scouted an entrance to it through my land, but once I looked at the aerial view I noticed the "shortcut". I posted this, not because Im interested in getting fines or smashing rocks for a few months, but I wanted to get the general consensus of what others would do...hence the topic of the thread.

Im going to talk to the hippie alpaca farmer and show her the shortcut, notify that it is not posted, and ask if I can cross through. If she says no, so be it. I personally would not consider this trespassing if someone walked through the corner of my yard to access their backyard, but there are ethics and laws.

Yep, dragging a 200# deer through the long way would suck, but if she says no, I have only one way to do it.

Thanks again for the opinions. I was always told that if the land wasnt posted, you would need a warning before you would get into trouble.
