me again, on my in-laws land they have a creek with 5ft embankments on each side, would this be a good travel route to my stand or blind that would allow for the least amount of possible deer disruption?

I would venture to say that it would make a good way to access your stand or blind with less disturbance. Does the creek keep water?

yes it holds a good deal of water? why?

I just wanted to know if it was a dry creek or wet. Having water will be nice for covering your stank steps. It sounds like you have a good route to your set-up.
