Ground is more fun plain and simple,. It requires more thought and is more rewarding when game is spotted. Plus its hard to fall far when you fall asleep.

Just another thought.....someone mentioned about not disturbing too much of the area around you... i hunted a ridge full of scrub oaks one fall in michigan......I moved along the ridge to find a nice ambush site to sit... i stopped and looked back behind me and noticed some smaller brushy oaks i could sit in and have good back cover...About an hour later a nice buck ambled down the ridge directly towards me...i was expecting a 10 yd broadside shot... Unfortunately, he picked up my scent from where i originally stopped to pick out a spot to sit.....long story short.....Do not leave any scent outside of your comfortable shooting range....this buck hung up at about 25yds...sniffed the bushes where i stood ...looked right thru me , turned and walked the opposite way.

I get ASAT camo material and make myself a poncho. I try and find a big tree to sit against. One year I had an eight point whitetail bed down 10 feet from me. What a treat that was. Couldn't pull off the shot but it was still hunting and it proved to me that I can get as close as I need to on the ground.
