ReadyT--you shore there is no way in except the food source??That is gonna make it hard to hunt mornings or evenings--either your gonna bump deer before daylight or after dark--I would try hard to find another way in even if I had to walk aways!!!Good Luck

RE: what would you do?
I have the exact same problem where i hunt. I'm not going to be hunting that stand that i have to cross the field until the evening, because if you push a big one goingin the morning. there is a good chance your not going to see him in the evening to get a shot.iknow where i hunt a lot of times the deer are out in the fields in the morningwhenwe get there.i'm not sure how it is where you hunt but that's what i do.

From my experience, yes the deer feed in the dark. But I have also found they love to wander (Assuming you don't have to much hunting preasure on them) between 7:00am - 9:00am getting in their last snack before bedding midday. I would just work the wind and slip in quietly as possible in the dark to your stand. The deer hear sounds in the dark all night long but don't necessarily spoke or run but just stand at the ready. If your slow and quiet and down wind, you shouldn'tspook them.
