what is the #1 thing that you look for in a tree?
it's not dead
Good point.

Personally, I just pick the straightest, most limb free, easiest to climb tree. Location isn't a factor. It doesn't matter where I hang my stand, the does just line up for me. They walk by one by one, and if I don't like that one, I just wave them on and they walk away looking somewhat dejected. When the one I want walks in front of me, I giver her a thumbs down and she turns broadside and looks the other way. Isn't it this way for everyone?

Incidentally, there are no bucks within a 20 mile radius of where I hang my stand. Even if I move it, somehow, word gets out and all the bucks in the area vacate.
