I walk in a straight line until I cut deer sign. I follow that deer sign towards vegetation and terrain features that correlate with deer sightings. I look around until I find enough sign or actual deer to feel supremely confident they'll be within bow range during daylight. Then, I find an ambush. And from that ambush, I consider if I can draw my bow and kill a deer from the ground. If I can't draw without being seen, then I look up. I find a tree that offers the proper concealment. I climb it. I kill deer.
Sometimes that height is 2 feet. Sometimes its 8 feet. Sometimes its 27 feet.
My computer, SH.com, strangers' opinions, or forecasted wind direction have nothing to do with how high I climb a tree.
lol, this is a little too empirical for me, stranger.
