This should help a bit... also, some pre-season scouting will do you good. See if there's a clear area where you can glass the woods a bit or even set up a trailcam near signs if you have one.

Look for signs of activity such as trails, scrapes, poo, etc... just make yourself scarce and try to remain unseen/unheard. That last part is tough, but it is possible - with a little care - to slip through the woods at this time of year, relatively unnoticed.
