I had deer in bow range while in a tree and got one shot off.I had numerous shots from the ground, I missed a giant buck and passed up a few smaller ones.The ground game has it's place and I will more than likely doing all my future scouting in places void of trees, deer don't need trees we need trees to hang stands in them.I was using a ghillie suit and a small stool that swiveled. I never got busted by them at mere feet away. It's an awsome experience.
