It is scary high, but as you said in your post, it is where it needs to be. Both sets are a pinch created by a deep draw. The only tree that works in both cases is deep in the draw. Its thick low cover on top of the ridge and at cruising elevation...no suitable trees. My shot angle is equivalent to being 18-20 feet up on flat ground. I love both of these trees as access is near perfect; deer rarely drop into the draw.
