Two questions: How high are you off the ground and are you flashing some kind of Saddle Hunting gang sign?
I scouted late morning to midday and didn't see anything impressive, so I went over and hunted one of my primary scrape locations this afternoon. I didn't see anything. There were a lot of folks out today. The most I've seen all season. Thought that was sort of weird.
I hope you practiced at home first before climbing that highMy hiney was maybe 20-24 inches off the ground?
I'm not the guy you directed the question to but I've been wearing boonie style hats bow hunting for 40+ years specifically because the brim is short and soft and doesn't interfere with the bow string like a ball cap brim does but it still gives you some sun shade if you want it. Another, and more debatable, reason I wear them is I feel they provide a consistent profile in the tree as I rotate my head as opposed to the brim of a ball cap. I typically wear a ball cap in and swap to the boonie in the tree to keep it from getting sweaty.Quick question - does that boonies hat not contact your string when at full draw? I actually like wearing those but have never tried one when shooting my bow. Always assumed there would be some issues.

I've been wearing this particular boonie for over 30 years now. Its critter chewed in the back from a summer spent laying on the forest floor after I misplaced it during a summer observation sit but once I retrieved it and cleaned it up a bit it still works as good as new. I typically wear them pulled down over a scentlok hood which is what you see here.

@Red Beard you slippinI'm waiting for someone to scold me for the biner not being locked
Short brim floppy hats are the only way to fly bowhunting.Awesome. I'll have to find me one with the shorter brim like that. All the ones I have are a bit of a wider brim. Mission brand i think. Works great in the summer.
