Pin oaks are best if you have them to trim some branches from, the leaves will stay on til spring. Rope,ziptys etc.
Stay sharp, Kenny.

A rope around the tree and some ziptys to the stand works or to other limbs or whatever you can attach to so they don't flop around in the breeze any more than natural limbs. You don't have to be covered up with em, just have some to make a bigger blob up there. And background to cut skylining.
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Oak brush is what I use constantly lasts the whole season when it turns brown and dries it usually stays on the limb works well for me anyways all other trees and brush and pine boughs don't last

Any of the oak branches cut while the leaves are still green will hold their leaves for quite a while.  Some seem to do better than others, but all are good.  Get to cutting them now.

Balsam fir branches will keep their needles all season long, as will oak
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.
