RE: How do you stand in your treestand?
All of the above. Depends on the sun, the deer, the tree, the cover, etc etc etc. I do whatever I figure is best for each particular situation. Both my climbers allow you to face the tree or sit with your back to it. I stand a LOT. When I"m standing I generally put one shoulder or the other against the tree but not always. Sometimes I just put my back to it.
