Great post. I am going to hunt one of my new spots tomorrow morning for the first time versus the typical evening hunts I've done a few times there during early season. It's 28 degrees tomorrow morning according to Weather.com and the rut's starting to kick in here. Only problem is I essentially have to walk about 1/4 to a 1/2mile along the edge of a cut corn field to get to my blind at the pinch point between a bedding area, big woods and two cut corn fields. I was debating about the noise I might make but I figure if I head in an hour before first light and move as fast as I can, I'll just plop down and see what happens. Gotta learn that somehow versus wondering. Good luck guys!
