Thanks guys. Its had me thinking since reading all summer long the various hunting mags and surfing around at various whitetail forumes. Its definately something I havent done, crossing that much ag (soy and corn) to get to my stand. Usually I would come from the woods and get to the stand, but in this scenarion, I cant (trespassing, etc.)

2 out of 5 say go through it as if you are hunting the fields, like glasing up the rows, but I believe that will be for gun and not bow. I hope I didnt come across as a knucklehead, but with my back issues, I am always looking for the shortest point from pt A to pt B. All of you have explained the obvious, my thought was that i would contaminate just the trail through, and can conceal that by dragging tarsal or somethinglike that. I wish I had more afternoon hunts on this piece, as I see them daily feeding out there. I almost find it that much more difficult at getting across when they are out, but playing dad wont get me out any earlier than 3:30-4:30 PM. Its gonna bite that I wont hunt this area like it needs to ne hunt, but come winter, maybe after the ag fields are cut will open a different scenario.

Thanks again for the various thought/opinions.
