is it rifle season or bow? Im with you on that one I have a summit viper and alothough very comfortable its very bulky and annoying to carry. I always choose treestand over groundblind in 99 percent of situation your above there nose you can see further distances in most cases and usually have less of a chance of getting busted by the deer. Maybe change spots find the does and the bucks will come concentrateon natural funnels thats what I do and Ijustmissed 2 8 pointers in ten minutes yesterday. Also just because youv only seen one guy doesnt mean other people are there. Public land you gotta go as deep as possible and then walk some more. Good luck
