I'm on the ground too. The older I get the less comfortable I am at heights, so, I just set up on the ground or slip around at mid-day if its safe. I recently was talking with a work acquaintance who suggested I come hunt some public land with him. He seemed excited about it until I told him I preferred to stay on the ground. He said in an almost derisive tone, "you can't kill a deer on the ground with a bow?" Just use on of my loc ons. I insisted that I have done it and it was not just dumb luck, but now he seems much less interested. Could it be that tree standers don't like ground pounders? Do they think we are just stinking up the woods and wasting time? Guess I'm going to have to prove it now.
