Love the ground hunting. Bout all I do now days. Did not have any luck calling until 2 years ago. Started doing just 1 soft grunt about 3 seconds long every 30 minutes are so. Called up numerous deer that way.

I killed a 3 pointer from the ground Saturday (my first trad kill!). Just started ground hunting the last couple of weeks. So far, I prefer it to being in a stand, big time. There's nothing like being right in front of the animals. It's amazing.

I am for the second year in a row, with my busy schedule I haven't really had enough shooting time in the stand to feel just right so I will stick to the ground again.

Last year I had a nice Doe within 12 yards of me but not sure if I spooked her or she decided to join her fellow Does but she trotted away, second time I had 3 Does within 15 yards but unfortunately it was first day of gun season here & they weren't legal that day so I had to let em walk.

I haven't been in a tree stand in two years and I've found that I enjoy it SOOO much more. Had two young bucks within 8 steps week before last. I got to full draw on both and let down, gave'em a pass.
If you find yourself in a fair fight? Your tactics suck!
