Hey man, why do you HAVE to be in atree? Forget the tree, and go cut a little brush, stack a few limbsand build yourself a ground blind (not a popup).Then when season comes, and you have the right wind, go in there cut a few leafy limbs to spruce up your blind and hunt.
I'm not saying this is you, but way too many bowhunters feel they only way the can bowhunt is by sitting in a tree. This unfortunately rules out alot of spots for people for the same reasons you mentioned, no trees, too little, etc Get down there, eye level, and get your buck. I have found myself sitting on the ground more every year because I am now discovering places that just werent suitable when I was locked into the idea of a treestand. My two best bucks were from a natural ground blind. It is a pleasure being eye to eye, level ground with a mature buck.
