I've got a couple places to hunt this fall and have done my scouting work. The problem is, on the one tract of land, there are no good trees for climbing stands anywhere near where the deer are.

The only solution for my specific situation, as far as I can see, is to hunt from a long-needle pine tree. There's one (actually two growing together) that is ideally located. I've climbed it and broken off the little dead twigs that hinder getting up it. I've found a good perch that provides camouflage for me and yet allows good visibility.

But how am I going to make it comfortable enough to sit in the branches of a tree for hours on end?! There are no two branches the same height to throw a board across and I don't have room/permission to build a large stand in the tree.

Who has hunting from a tree like this in the past and what did you learn?
