RE: good spot for tree stand>?
You can put your stand on the edge or in a spot with little background cover if you want but the deal is you better be motionless.... The reason deer see us is we end up moving thinking they are not around. If you have trees behind you you are better off because instead of seeing your whole body move or your arm or leg they get a broken veiw of the movement and may think it was a squirell of bird.
This is a mistake many people make. I have for sure in the past. I've used climbers on straight trees with little up top. Made for a great climb but I had nothing around me for cover. You could get lucky but like others have siad the best thing is to get back into the trees a bit and make sure you have cover from the deers view.
Good luck and I can't wait to see the pics.
