I've got to agree with you valor10.

The situation will dictate how to enter a stand. I've also been sucessful entering a stand by walking the edge.

I agree with the moving slowly when walking the edge.

If I have a climber on my back, you can bet I'm not going through the middle of the cornfield.

Every situation is different.

My beef was someone trying to discourage someone else that only had mornings to hunt. I'd prefer evenings for a situation like this but if all I had were mornings, I'd certainly give that a try.
