Not a good idea unless you make yourself a blind out of natural material and always play the wind. Brush-in all the way around but make sure you leave enough room to draw your bow without hitting anything front or back. Draw your bow only when the deer goes behind a tree or bush. Or you could just use a pop-up blind if you have one. And you still want to brush and blend that in also.
My wife did shoot a 130" 8pt at 20yrds with a bow a few years back while kneeling down in front of a tree but he was on the trail of a doe and it was in the middle of the rut. He did stop and look at her but did not care, his mind was on something else. Nothing but air between them. And she is very small framed, 100lbs.
