Face the tree or Face away
 
What do you like, face the tree, or face away from the tree. Please let me know. Thanks Hole Puncher.

I do both but prefer the tree to my back because of better visibility and easier maneuvering for a shot. I strictly bow hunt so a gun is not a consideration. If I want maximum comfort, I will move the seat outboard on my Buckshot Equalizer then set facing the tree and allow my safety harness to drape over my shoulder (either one), lean back on the harness and put my feet up on the cables. It is almost like setting in an EZ Boy. I go up a tree to hunt, not to sleep. I will admit that drowsiness is a problem when that warm sun hits you but instead of dozing off, I will stand up for awhile. Standing up every now and then is a good way to remain alert. My belief is that you need to stay in tune with mother nature in order to be a good hunter. If you are in tune, I would swear that a sixth sense will tell you when your game is nearby. Sleepers may enjoy their sleep but they are missing opportunities.
