I am a tree/elevated stand hunter here in NH I hunt from a tree, I do not like still hunting or sitting on the ground. I prefer a lock on stand in a hemlock tree, it offers great cover for any small movement you make and keeps you in shadow just about 100% of the time. I dont go up high, maybe 12 feet or so but I have shot 8 deer in 10 yrs from the same tree and most within 40 yds with my ML. Just wondering KVON, where are you located?
