OK, now for my next question. Why are you that high in the tree? Is it a permanent stand or is there some other reason you place a stand that high?
Not to sound condescending, but you say this was the shot presented so you took it. Only you can really assess this but sometimes the "shot presented" isn't always a good shot. Next time you may decide to pass on the shot hoping for a better one or another day. Just something for you to ponder. You were there and I was not.
