I walk a lot of old logging roads to my stand setups and the deer use these trails as well...
I only recall being busted once from a deer cutting my track..... It wasn't even on a deer trail.... She started the old stomping first.... Then the snorting.... Then a couple Hickory nuts fell next to her and she turned inside out high tailing it 40 or so yardsaway and stopped....looked back my wayand kept on snorting at me [&:]

I do my best to not cross them, but sometimes it's simply unavoidable. When I do have to cross them, I DO NOT step on them. I stay as far off of them as possible.
One place I hunt is big woods, and the deer literally come from anywhere. I am YET to see a deer trail in those woods. Somewhere, a deer will cross my entry/exit path, there's simply no way around it.....Well, unless I parachute in.....

Do you worry about crossing deer trails when you go into your stands? There are some places I hunt, I just can't help but to cross over trails. I can't remember seeing a deer get alarmed when it crossed where I have walked. But it may happen where I would not be able to see it.
