Good question Lefty!! I look for several trees next to each other, this makes for a great stand set-up, as the other trees will hide your outline. I also like to place my stands in a hardwood tree next to a pine or sumac tree. The branches of the pine tree will hide your form as well too!! If that's not possible, then you will have to climb higher up in the tree to compensate for the deers eyesight picking you off if your were lower in the tree!! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
