Personally I enjoy getting higher. I like the POV. Plus I've heard myriad of reasons from better blood trails to reduced scent and movement detection.I would like to get a few tripods to put out at the ranch this year.

HOWEVER. Due to the fact that my wife wants to go with me this year(my first bow season in 10 years-WOHOO!) to photograph and video for me, I may try a DblBull matrix, IF I can save up enough to afford one. If not I may just go to old stand by and get some camo mesh/netting/burlap stuff and stretch it between a hand full of trees. I did this many times as kid and had some success. Well, at seeing deer anyways. I never got a shot off, but had a few deer come so close I would be better off with a lance, a broadsword or a dad-gum old baseball bat!
