How does everyone here hunt?

<< < (7/8) > >>

DanaM:
Mostly on the ground these days as I seem to have lost my head for heights :o

Like to still hunt when conditions are right.

Postman:
Usually on the ground or hidden in a deadfall. I've shot a few deer on the ground with compounds and firearms close up,  but hope to get my first with a stickbow this year, huntin' thru the gun seasons with it like last year.

Postman,
Dead falls make the best ground blinds!!
I use several of them.

I like it all.  Terrain, weather, cover and deer movement dictates my hunting method.  Thick stuff with narrow deer trails, I'll be in a tree to hide me and give me better visiability.  BUT, give me a misty day with wet leaves and I'll be a stalkin'.  Last season I took my first deer with a bow.  It was on a narrow ridge maybe 15 yards across.  I was in a treestand otherwise I would have been standing right in the path of the deer with little or no cover.  Later in the season, after leaving my treestand and walking to the house, I spotted a deer heading in my direction.  I guessed where it would cross the drainage from my pond.  I was 12 yards from him when he came up out of the ditch.  He was my second deer with a bow.  It was a compound bow.  BUT, I just finished my hickory bow last week.  I look forward to hunting with her this year.
