Default How far can you see

How far can you see when you are sitting in your stands? I have always been able to see quit a ways in all of my stands but 1. But it is getting so thick around my spots, that it is hard to see anything until they are right on top of me.

Where I deer hunt Its fairly open In some area's (50 yards or so) but then the next area It's on the thicker side where I can only see maybe 30 yards or so.

Where I bear hunt I'm lucky If I can see 15 yards In 95% of the spots I hunt.

I can see 65-75 yards in two directions and only around 30 yards in the other two out of both my bow stands.

We can usually see 100 yards or more in most of our spots. With the farthest we can see from a stand probably being 200 yards and the least maybe 50 or so.

Sat in a pretty tight one last night, the shots would have all been around 20 yards or less, had one lane I could see about 80 yards, and did see one good buck, 130s or so, down that lane. Once the leaves come down, I will be able to see a long way in this particular area though, which I am looking forward to. Usually, I don't mind being a little tighter, but a good field edge sit doesn't bother me either.
