I’ve always found that deer like to bed in tall grass so I try and stay out of it. If it’s not over your head tall, I’ve noticed deer will bed so they can either watch or smell the field. So I stay out of them unless an established trail is made. Just never seemed worth the risk to me.
I guess what I’m trying to say is, is this the only access to the stand or just the straightest? I’d rather take a long walk around then let deer know my approach.
I do realize you said only, just trying to be sure you can’t find another option.
