Default Treestands in open trees?

The area I plan to hunt opening day has alot of straight trees in it, but they dont have much cover. The area is a staging area - a highland with white pines and maples surrounded by swamp, and 150 yards from an alfalfa field. I have always seen deer here and got pics of 5 different bucks there this summer. The 2 trees I am looking at most have a little cover, but not as much as I like. One is a white pine with a 4" maple about 18" from the pine. The other is a big maple with a crotch about 15 feet up. Both are about 15 yards from the main trail, but another trail comes 5 yards from the big maple. I am limiting myself to 15 yard shots this year since I will be usingmy recurve. What are your thoughts on hunting trees with little cover? I have done it before and feel almost naked doing it.
