If the deer are already bedded, you could have trouble. Lay down and look into the pines. If they are old the bottoms will be dead and the deer can see a long way when bedded. They will see your legs long before you spot them. Same way with mountain laurel. Deer usually lay right on the top edge of a mountain. It looks thick to you when you are climbing, but a bedded deer can see down the mountain a couple hundred yards and spots your legs. Not saying it can't be done, I shoot most of my deer when moving around, there is just more to it than you think. Well, the learning is the fun part. Good luck.
