How do you realize quickly that which tree is the best for you? I suggest you try to compare with your shoulders. If you realize approximately the same width as your shoulders then you set up a stand and climb away. Even smaller trees also not appropriate for the hunter. Because these types of trees blow in the wind. As a result, hunting will be hampered and will be feared in an accident.
