I’d go around and walk the tree line, and I’d agree this is a tough AM hunt. If you walk through a soybean field, or a harvested field, your silhouette will be visible for a long way with any moon or star light in the AM. You won’t have to worry about whether they smell you or not. Walking through unharvested corn, you’ll be taking a chance of spooking feeding deer in the AM, and bedded deer in the PM. You’ll also be leaving your scent all over the corn stalks as you cut through them, so the trail to your stand might become off limits to some deer. Shouldn’t bother the youngsters. I know its warm early in the season here, so a long walk can sweat you up pretty good. We only have so many options when it comes down to it, so you have to do what YOU think is best for you. Good luck!
