Once I find a spot I want to hunt, I begin looking for trees. I want one where I am not going to be silhouetted against the sky, and there will be limbs providing cover. I know most leaves will be dropped when I am hunting out of the tree. I also prefer to be rather close to the main trail that I am going to be hunting on. I would rather be pinned up about 10 yards in a decent tree than 35 yards off in a great tree.

One of my favorite spots to hunt has no suitable trees, so I hunt out of an amazing blind of fallen over pine limbs.
