Face my treestand uphill or downhill???
i know its early, but like many of you, i have gotten the itch and i cant wait till ocotber. im hunting a new property where the spot im looking at setting up is a significant slope. ive noticed from scouting last year and trail cam pics that the deer mover from bedding area/thick cover from the top of the hill to the bottom in the evening. i want to set my stand up and the bottom of the hill.
should i face my stand uphill and take them head on or should i face down hill and wait for them to pass me and then shoot. if i face up i risk them spotting me but if i face down i wont see them approaching. i obviously thought about facing sideways but with my luck thy would walk directly behind me.
i know its long time off but any ideas on placement? thanks!!!
