Would someone post a picture from the ground looking up at a spot that displays good cover. I think this might be one of my largest faults... Never really thought about backdrop, really just thought that getting up in a tree in a prime spot would be enough... obviously I was wrong. Honestly, it's just a matter of looking up and seeing if behind you there will be limbs and leaves. It looks like you're in N AL so you shouldn't have a problem. If you can find good backdrop cover, look for oak trees wider than you. Ahh simple enough. Any tactics for setting up on/in swamps/wetland where there is primarily only cypresses? If you have cypress trees near known well traveled trails, entries to fields, etc. you are set. Those trees make some of the best cover there is. You may have to do some limb pruning and use those ‘sectioned style’ climbing steps/ladders. Strap the sections or stick ladder up to your desired height then cut one or two limbs near the trunk to make a hole in the canopy to put your lock on. Then just sit up there and trim till you can see your shot lanes and can draw. If you do it right you look like you are imbedded inside the cypress canopy. Edit: never mind. I was reading cedar in my head . Lol maybe you have some cedar somewhere haha
