X 2 on the get a good prop and sit late. A few years back I missed a 140'' buck on a 50 acre clearcut because I had to awkwardly free arm a shot. We set up a tripod shortly after, and over the next 3 or 4 years we passed on and killed more good bucks out of that spot than any other spot in my lifetime. Had my best luck on cold mornings with little to no wind. Be on the high ground and as soon as the sun rises above the trees and shines on that clearcut, get ready.
