I would only do it near the end of the hunting season, but wait for a wind that puts your stand downwind of the thicket. Then get a buddy to around the upwind side of the thicket. In most cases he doesn't even need to walk through the thicket, just his scent being carried through the area will cause some deer to try and sneak out the backside, right wear you are waiting. If he actually walks through the thicket and jumps the deer, they may be running to quickly to get a shot at when they come past you.

Its worked to perfection for me in the past, but you do run the chance a scaring deer off your property for the rest of the season. But at this time of theyear that may be a chance you're willing to take. The deer will revert back to normal habits before next year.
