RE: Stand Direction
Truthfully, if your 20' up in a tree, the deer won't see you unless your waving your arms around. The thing is to "see" them first, get set up and be ready when they get into range. If your caught flatfooted and they sneak right under you, it's pretty tuff to stand,grab your bow, and draw back without getting caught. I still like to try to find a hardwood tree next to a pine tree for better cover.
