First, have fun and be safe. That is why we are out there in the first place.

Second, Put the time in the stand and trust your instincts. Hopefully there is a reason that you picked the tree that your sitting in. Trust those insticts and go with them. My buddy did that last year, found a tree that he thought was perfect, hunted that stand a bunch of times without seeing anything, then eventually shot the biggest buck of his life.
