Tree stand placement?

<< < (3/3)

Pappy:
I mostly hunt lock ons,10 to 15 feet high,no baiting but do hunt mainly food sources,if I have no acorns/persimmons then they have to eat something,I try and figure out what ,and that's where I go. I watch the wind to an extent but in TN. where I hunt they can come from any direction and the wind unless a front is moving in will change 10 time in an morning or evening hunt,I just try and stay as clean as possible and try to have my stand set in some good cover,usually in a cedar/White oak/Beach tree in later season and maple in the early season.Something that will hold it leaves through the winter. Multie trunk trees are OK but with mt style of shooting I sometimes have trouble shooting if I am backed up in between a 2 or 3 trunk tree.Be sure to check all shooting angles before the shot comes if in a tree like that, to be sure you can draw and shoot in as many directions as possible. I personality like the 3 or 4 yard shot, the angle ant that bad if you are only 10 or 12 feet up. Closer the better.  ;) :)
