RE: High or Low ground
I love swamp / low land areas, I find the deer will get up a browse sooner in the day due to the lack of daylight let thru the trees.
Really depends on where the deer are bedding, the "to-and-fro" trails.
I do have stands on high grounds also, but find more deer on the south side of the hills during colder days and that makes it tough to get to your stand
