How would you guys approach this...
I' m after a big 5x5 and a big non-typical on some public land. It is a big river bottom with heavily wooded areas and some clearings. The area that the 2 big ones are in is a 45+ minute walk from the truck. If I come in from the north, I follow 2 old, overgrown roads. One runs N/S, the other runs E/W. The 2 bucks are within 100 yds of the E/W road. This year the grass and weeds are 6' tall in some spots on the old roads. It certainly is not a quiet walk. If I come in from the south, I walk through about a mile of heavily wooded area. Not exactly a quiet walk either.

Since it is a wooded river bottom, the wind is constantly swirling. Of course, the area that the 2 I' m after are in is one of the thickest areas. I bought a climbing stand this year, but it' s difficult to get too far in the woods without making a lot of noise. So far I' ve been staying on the outskirts of where those 2 deer are.

Do I take my chances on going to where I need to be and not spooking the deer, or do I wait for a windy/wet day to make my attempt? What do you guys think?
