well we have some overgrown and rough areas where we hunt. however, the worst part is the height of the pasture out there. that is probably why we always hunted from treestands because from the ground its hard to see more than 30 yards in any direction with the pasture grass and weeds. With this, our heads will be about 9 feet in the air and we can move it from season to season. Also, we are some pretty hefty guys, so its hard to find a cheap tripod.
