How big was the tree you climbed and did it have limbs or vines growing up in it? Bowhunting southern deer, in my opinion, is what being a sniper in Vietnam must of been like. Concealment is almost as important as wind direction. What good is it to beat their nose only to have them see you 12-15 feet up a skinny, tall pine. I'm not saying you climbed a limbless pine, but she did peg you. What to do? You may have to move only 10 feet or 20 yards but move to a tree that offers some background concealment or is wide enough to hide your outline. I've been hunting with trad gear for several years now which limits how high I can climb due to shot angles and accuracy. I climb low so I depend on climbing where I know my outline is broken up. I try to look at a tree from the deer's perspective. I look at my tree from the direction of where I'm guessing it will approach. I even squat down to deer height and look up at my tree. Sometimes what I think is a perfect tree is not because there is not enough foliage above or behind where I would be perched. I hope this helps.
