How does everyone here hunt?
Buffalogobbler:
Although I own two tree stands, I rarely use them.
I build a stick blind and hunt from the ground, eye ball to eye ball and last year I killed two whitetails with my self bow, shooting from my chair.

Thanks for all of the input everyone.
Just for grins I went out to the woods yesterday about 4p to see if I could creep around in the drizzle and find a hog. I did not see any hogs, but I was able to get shots at 2 cottontails. I missed both of them ;D. The grass was so tall that I could only see the their heads. Both shots were about 10-12 yards. One shot went just to the left of the head(lost my arrow)the second went just over. If I could have seen the whole rabbit and aimed at his whole body instead of his head, I would have had some kills. I still had fun though. It built up my confidence some because both of those shots would have been within the vitals on a hog or deer. I saw some squirrels on the ground really close and I may have taken a shot, but they are out of season in my county. You definitely see alot more of the woods when you are still hunting.

I hear ya brada tree stands scare the cwap outta me. I don't trust em' that's why I prefer to be on the ground and up close.
Adam Keiper:
I use a healthy mix of treestands, natural cover on the ground, and stillhunting or stalking. The latter is my favorite method, but conditions have to be right. I've managed to spot several whitetails and slip up on them for a killing shot. Those are the most heartpounding hunts.
