Mornings when the leaves are wet with dew, I combine still hunting with making impromptu ground blinds by finding good back cover and sitting on the ground. Evenings when the leaves are dry I sit still, mostly on the ground, sometimes on a ladder stand, and frequently read a paperback while I'm sitting as I mostly hunt with my ears. I used to sit after dark until I could no longer tell what color my fletching is but I've followed too many blood trails with a small flashlight. I love morning hunting!

I've adopted too many bows that needed a good home.

I like to hunt what the best method is for the area I am in.  I love hunting from an elevated position and saddle been my favorite for 10 years, as I mainly hunt public land, just cann't beat the view.  But, I do not hunt Trees I hunt deer, so if I find a spot where no tree, I hunt on the ground.  I have tried pop up blinds, but found for me, I prefer to use what is just there naturally.  I do love stalking when my knees allow it, and a steady drizzled rain, has provided a few pounds of meet.  Still hunting/stalking to me is what hunting is all about, slow down, take everything in and truly enjoy the entire hunt.  My bow of choice has been culled down the last few years between a Northern Mist American and my old Sunset Hill, both at 55#, Arrows shafts are between wood and carbon black eagle, Broadhead of choice has been zwickey and Ace for long time, but last few years great results with Meatheads.  Whatever your tackle, or your method of the chase, get out their and enjoy.  Remember, the hunt isn't about the harvest it is about the entire experience.  God Bless.

Since I hunt on public hunting land...no screw in steps, no ATV's and locations as far as a mile in, I've pretty much given up on elevated stands and hunt from brushed in ground blinds. I prefer the ground anyway after several injuries and close calls with tree stands, and the ever-present possiblity of stand theft if left out overnight on public land. It's got it's limitations but I've become comfortable with them.

Been in the trees for eastern white-tails since my first bow hunt on October 1, 1970.  I love the view.

I hunt from blinds for turkey and when I go west.

Last year I hunted exclusively from ground blinds using the new Primos 270 surround view. I do't much like restricted vision in the more traditional blinds. I'll probably stay on the ground this year mainly because like was written above, it is fun being on ground level, warmer too!
