Messed Up With Tripod Location

[R&T Farm]

I assembled my first tripod and set it up among some trees. When I put it up it was almost hidden but I still had shot lines. Tied it down so it'll stand up to winter winds.

Then the wind blew and the leaves that hid the stand were gone.

I was in a rush to get it up so the deer could get used to it, I should have realized the surrounding trees would drop their leaves.

Now I don't know if I should move it or see if it works out. I have camo burlap that covers me but it is silhouetted against the sky if a buck looks up.

How many times have you put a stand up and thought it was the perfect spot only to find out it was the worst spot you could have picked out.

Cedar trees are the best for tripods.

They will get used to it

It will be ok... Sit still!

We use this with towers or ladders that stick out like a sore thumb. Of course you gotta sit still but at least they won't pick you off the second they look in your direction.

Your fine

If you expect your shots to be real tight such as 20-40 yds, it might be tough. If you can reach out longer distances, just sit still and hunt
