Forgot about this one. The wind helping hide your entrance is one thing my father said. He also said he uses the rain. If you got rain and its gonna clear up within an hour or two use that to get into the area. Will hide your noise and obscure their vision in the hopes that you can get in and settled before they can pick you out. Last thing he said was you cant really change anything there. If you start moving things or clearing lanes the deer will pick up on that quick. Kinda like adjusting someones car seat and hoping they wont notice, they will.
We went this past weekend to another swamp he used to hunt and showed me the things he was talking about. Its very interesting but must keep a very detailed account of your surroundings and what the deer are doing in the area. From what he showed me is you dont want to carry anything extra, really keep it to the basic gear. You will be spending quite a bit of time ducking thorn vines and branches which at some points even getting on your hands and knees. The more gear you carry the more gear that may get snagged on something that will make noise. We made our way into the area keeping close to thickets and if needed to move towards the open, stayed low and near the swamp cypress trees. Those at least give you cover if you see movement or want to stop and spot your surroundings before continuing.
