I've been a Tree guy here in PA but this season I decided to hunt the best possible place for a deer and not hunt trees. Last Saturday morning I shot a good 7pt. at 10 yds. from the ground with no blind at all. I just sat up beside a large tree and behind a log that had fallen years ago. I had one buck jump the log on Monday and let me draw on him from less than 4 steps! You just have to be careful with the wind and accept the fact you wont see as much because you can't see as far.
