Spot and stalk too.  There are very few straight trees in my neck of the woods.

Most successful tree stand.  Favorite still hunting.
More bows than I should have!

Spot and stalk.  Nothing like the adrenaline rush from being that close.

My favorite method is my least successful.  I like to print out a map from Google Earth or Flash Earth, grab my bow, gps, possible pack, and set out exploring.  

Looking over new area, reading sign, maybe marking a tree and trimming a few branches, then settling into a cozy spot on the ground for the last hour or so of light.  I have yet to actually get one on these trips, but have had some cool encounters.  Nothing like finding a new spot.

As far as success, tree stand all the way.  Usually at a spot I found on one of my exploring trips.

Spot and stalk puts on "even ground" with the game. It is the way I like to hunt also. Probably could be much more successful at times if I used a tree stand...just can't sit in one for hours on end wondering what is over the next ridge.

Still hunting.  Any and all game animals, this is my favorite method.

Spot n stalk and still hunting. Can't sit still for very long. As my wife says -- referring to grouse vs. ducks: "We're walking people not sitting people."

Still hunting and spot and stalk out west.  Tend to use more tree stands and an occasional ground blind in the midwest deer hunting.

I use to do a lot of still hunting many years ago, but it was always torture for me having to hold myself back, slow down, etc. I always feel like everthing's already seen, heard or smelt me where I am and think just over behind those trees looks better anyway.

I'm just too impatient to enjoy it. So I hunt for good spots then climb a tree so I will stay put a while.
