Hunting the WI firearms opener on public land. The setup is on a small hardwood island surrounded by wet ground. After a windy and uneventful opening day, the weather was perfect the next morning. 20 degrees and no wind allowed for crunchy ground and fantastic hearing across the marsh. I hunted out of a hang on tree stand about 16 feet up, in a tree that I picked out in the dark that morning (hence why there's a branch right above my head. I couldn't set the stand any lower due to another branch).
