It depends on your approach and timing. This also seems to get people caught in the "would'a, could'a, should'a" excuses. I myself am guilty.
Are you spooking deer from the direction you walk in? Or is it too late and deer will be all over the place anyway....Is the stand your hunting in a quick, easy, and quiet to get into?
Regardless, I will take chances and try to sneak into an area so I don't miss the opportunity at the deer I'm after, as long as I feel confident when the deer are moving depending on what I've observed in previous hunts.
