ground ? Tree?

[Slickhead]

Trying to make up my mind whether to do the tree or work on a brush blind.
Cant make up my mind?
Love the shot angle from the ground and its a lot more exciting.
I think I just figured out what to do

I think you answered your own question.......

I am new to trad hunting, but love the ground and have had a lot of success there.  I like the ability to go in quite, flexible and agile; able to move easily if conditions warrant!  I will sometimes hide my hub blind in the woods and assemble upon arrival to make travel easier.

loco- I hunt like that from trees.  Completely portable and quiet. Any tree one time up in under 10 minutes.  Move if I need to.  The thing I like about the tree is seeing deer before they are in range and maneuvering for the shot.  Agree- do not like the angle.  Pros and cons.

Enjoy both.  Pretty cool taking them off the ground though.

On the ground for me, too old and fat to climb trees any more. Besides face to face at distances sometimes measured if feet instead of yards is just way to much fun!

Not an either/or to me, I do both depending on the location.

The older I get, the better I like hunting from the ground. Being still and quiet are always important components of hunting from an elevated stand. They become even more crucial on the ground. But it sure is fun, especially when you have a deer stick its head in your brush blind.

Ground. No more trees.

Ground for sure trees are for Birds and Tree Rats  any how ya don't have far to fall if tired    

[tomsm44]

Depends on the situation.

Last year I hunted almost exclusively out of a ground blind after sitting in a tree for the last 40+ years.  I had great success and killed two of my best bucks ever.  Ask me where I will be hunting this year:)

A tree stand  with brushed in ground stand at the base,, my favorite.

Do both as you need.  I think all of us should be considering the ground more often, if the situation warrants, for those very reasons stated above.

No need for a safety belt if you hunt the ground like I do...When you are eye to eye it ads a whole new meaning to hunting to me..

[Kopper1013]

Just curious how are you guys hunting from the ground?

 I tried a gillie suit two years ago got really close but found strings on My suit always grabbed the bow string, have had trouble finding a blind that is easy to shoot a 64" bow in. So last year I went back to the stand and killed my first two traditional white tails.

Since I took up the recurve I have been ground hunting only. I will take to the trees as my skill
developes; but expect stand hunting to be less than ten percent of my hunting.

The advantages to hunting on the ground are often overlooked by hunters. The same can be said about about our weapon of choice. More challenging yet still offering a clear advantage in certain situations.
