I hunted from tree stands for a good number of years, but since ive been ground hunting for the past few years, WOW, what a joy! Seems i went trad to simplify things, but i didnt simplify my tactics, AKA, hunting from trees. Going Trad. from the ground has made time in the field, OOOOOH ! So much more enjoyable, as well as the ability to change locations or set ups in just a few minutes to possibly better your opportunities. For those of you who have never tried it, think about giving it a try. You may find out that you have been missing out on some great, simple and enjoyable hunting opps. Seems the older i get, the more simplified my hunting gets, and enjoyment now far out weighs the work.
