do what you feel is your best option...kinda hard being you didnt do much scouting and prep for the season....i hunt state game lands...i know what a crowd is...but they eat my dust on the way in....i walk 5 times as far as most of the other hunters.....i see very few guys all day....i can hear shooting near the roads...i use them guys to spook the deer my way right into my hole in a thicket....its a bottle neck and the deer have to come through or dont come at all......usually i see them....it works for me good luck......do what you feels best....
