There are several reasons to hunt with your back to the sun--the sun isn't in your eyes, but IS in the deer's eyes, you're much more hidden not being in the "spotlight", etc., etc. However, if you won't get a shot like that, it's not going to help. You can try to: 1.) see if there's another tree that will work for you, 2.) consider using a ground blind, 3.) make sure there's plenty of cover to break up your outline if you decide to use that same tree--you can haul up branches if necessary and tie them to the tree--I've done it and it works great.

And perhaps most important of all . . . the sun won't always be in your eyes. It will only affect the morning or evening hunt. Since that's the case, only hunt that stand when the sun isn't in your eyes . . . . and the wind's right!
