I did this year. I got my 8 pointer this year on opening day and had a horse rider come by me in the morning. I still saw lots of deer so no problem. I don't feel that the deer will react the same as if it was a person walking down the same trail. They just seem to watch the rider go by then carry on. SO If you find some area that you like don't let it stop you I didn't and got my biggest deer ever. Also was my first bow kill too. Go for it.
