Hello,

  This is going to be my first primative archery season in October. I have always hunted from a 16' stand, but Using a longbow I am going to probably still hunt or hunt stationary on the ground. I know alot of yall use a longbow from a tree stand, but I dont have the means/time to drive to my place in the country to practice from the stand often enough to become proficient.  I also like the idea of being close to the game.

 Here in my county in Tx you can only take doe in archery season. One day several years ago I still hunted when it was drizzling. I got within 7 yards of a doe, but I could not shoot her because I was gun hunting. It was an absolute rush being that close to her!  I have not still hunted since then because I got the tree stands the next season. I am hoping to get that same rush this year.

I hunt from a stand and from the ground. I'll stalk when the weather/wind is in my favor or even during the rut. I enjoy hunting from the ground more and more. I probably spend most of my time in a climbing stand. Do what makes you happy. Good luck this fall.

i prefer to hunt from the truck window, but the steering wheel catches my bottom limb every time.......ok   maybe not....   but seriously i really enjoy hunting on the ground, if i am on the ground i like to sneak around creek bottoms where there is a bit of noise, if i am in a stand its a 12ft high latter stand i make from lumber, sometimes here in FL, you just have to get up off the ground b\c its just so flat.

Ryano:
I hunt out of a tree stand about 99% of the time.  I like hunting from the ground, but I feel the deer have a distinct advantage over you on the ground.  Its not as much about them seeing or hearing you, its more about them smelling you, and it seems to happen much more frequently to me on the ground.

hawkbow:
Mostly still hunting and spot and stalk for me.. but i enjoy long hours in the stand also... every species is different and terrain allows for different tactics.. good luck brother and shoot straight.. Hawk
