Happy new year. I'm set up on the edge small creek in a SMZ that's bordered by 10-15 year old pines. I walked in here in the dark, picked what appeared to be a decent opening and climbed. It's thick and tight in here, very few holes to shoot through. The pines have briars and privet hedges mixed together that are head high. It's a good place for a deer, but they'll have be on top of me for me to be able to see em. Stay safe and good luck.
