[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5707608, member: 10373"] Maybe it’s time to hunt from the ground. I know several hunters who are very effective at still hunting and ground hunting. There are advantages that stand hunters don’t have. The main one is flexibility. Once you are in a tree, you are stuck even if the wind changes, most will sit it out regardless. Sometimes moving 50 yds will change everything but the stand hunter is stuck in one spot. Keep your options open. Even if you get to 10 feet, it’s really not enough. You are still a big blob right in the deer’s line of sight. I like to get over 20 at least and 30 is even better. Even at this height you can be seen if you aren’t still. If you do get this high, you’ll probably be so petrified you can’t move. Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
