How do you hunt stand or ground

[misfire]

Almost always from the ground.

Why?

Woodchucker said it best...(Besides,anything higher than a barstool gives me a nosebleed)

I hunt from the ground exclusively--I'm afraid of heights.

I've been hunting from the ground for 2 years now and I like it. I havent killed one yet but that is not a great concern. Ive had deer spiting distance from me and my 10 year old son and thats a rush for a kid and for me to, plus it's alot warmer down there!!    Jason

100% on the ground; I like to be able to keep the wind in my face; not counting having the worries of falling out of tree and not having a heavy load while walking in; I have killed as many deer on the ground as others have out of a tree stand;

secret?  ghillie suit; most amazing thing there is...

I dig hunting from the ground. Got one deer from a tree stand (with a wheelie bow) and found it wasn't my cup of tea. I don't care if I get busted alot. It's alot of fun being eye to eye with deer.

Black bear over bait... That's when a tree stand works for me. Not crazy about heights but bear hunting is a different story.

Nearly always from the ground...unless I have a good spot to set up and leave my ladder stand.

I started hunting on the ground my senior year of highschool when I dislocated my scholder.  The doc said it would be ok to shoot a bow, but to not do any pulling from over my head. So I was grounded for the season and ended up killing a decent buck at only 8 yards.

I always thought treestands were a bit of a pain - especially climbers before daylight.  Now I just open up my fold-up stool and sit somewhere with good cover behind me to break up my outline.  I have yet to have a deer bust me trying to draw while on the ground.  I just blew a shot at a doe this past Friday (pick a spot is something to remember) and even after I missed she still had no idea I was there, but just didn't give me another shot.

If I start getting busted drawing on deer I might think of going back to a treestand more often, but right now a new treestand is at the bottom of my wish list.
