RE: treestand setup
We always set up in the same tree. It makes it easier to communicate when it comes down to crunch time. Shooter always has to get the OK from the camera man. If we're in trees even 10 feet away, camera man is going to have to say it fairly loud and risk scaring the game.
As far as angles goes, it just depends on the setup and where you think the deer will come from. Although, it seems where you think they will come and where they actuallly normally end up being totally different. We normally go off the shooters dominant hand. If the hunter is at 12 o'clock, then camera man goes anywhere between 3 and 6 o'clock on the tree. When he is filming (since I'm left handed) he sets up between 9 and 6 o'clock on the tree. Again it depends on the the setup and where the trails are. It's best to be over the shooters shoulder. If everyting works out correctly you can get the true release of the arrow with the deer in fram as well.
