Thanks everyone. I'm a ground guy, just don't like to be off the ground without wings. Easier to video also. And no real good trees for a stand. I just need to make the shot, 31 yards is not too far.
I have two other setups that are closer, just nooks cut out of a cedar tree. I sat in one last weekend with no camera, two deer came with 10 feet of me spotted me and bolted. The first I noticed is when they bolted. Amazing how quiet they can be walking through brush. I need a pop-up so they can't see me moving around. Or get a tree stand like someone else said.
Hope to take my 12-year old out the 23rd, just bought him a Diamond bow at Cabelas for his birthday. He's good up to 15 maybe 20 yards.

To answer another question, that was a 5 pt if you count the tiny brow tines.
I took my 12 (well 13 now) year old out last weekend. He shot twice from the same setup. First time he used wrong pin and shot over a spike, 2nd time the arrow had fallen off the rest and we didn't notice until the shot, went into the dirt low and right, my bad I had him resting bow sideways in lap before the shot. I screwed up the video on the first one, the 2nd one is probably too dark but haven't had time to look at it.
Will try to go back this weekend if life lets me...
