How does everyone here hunt?

<< < (3/8) > >>

Kegan:
On the ground. Usually stalking. Actually, pretty much only stalking. My first year I had luck sitting, but since then I've never had the patience. I disdain to hunt from trees- I'm so darn impatient :D.

Getting within range has never been a problem. Getting an arrow into the deer however... :D

Dave 55:
If there is alot of ground coverI tree stand or ground blind hunt there is too much chance of busting deer out of their beds and a nice buck wont put up with that much without hatn up for good.If visability is good then spot and stalk can work and be very enjoyable.If your just out to fill a tag a tree stand is hard to beat for white tail.

predatorcaller:
I stand hunt a little but really enjoy the spot and stalk.Nothing like coming eye to eye with your quarry.Last year I stalked to within 10 yds of 2 different bucks but couldn,t shoot because they weren,t legal but it was a RUSH!!Any type of hunting makes me happy.Lloyd

NOMADIC PIRATE:
Rather get busted on the ground, than kill a critter from a Tree stand  ;D .....certanly tree stands are much more productive, but nothing beats getting amongst them ;)

aaron:
I live in SW washington state. i hunted blacktail from the ground for 5 years- either stalking or in improvised blinds. never got a thing. never even took a shot.  . Last september first i hunted from a tree for the first time- (not a real stand, but a 12x24 inch chunk of wood lashed to the tree).At 3pm that day, i took a 15 foot shot into the lungs of a doe with an obsidian point- she went 100 yards . I'd like to get one from the ground one day, but i'd say a treestand is the way to go for beginners like me.
