Dave 55:
Got out my copy of HUNTING THE HARD WAY last nite and was thinking it had been a very long time since I had hunted from the ground.Was kind of wondering how many of you do,Im thinking of getting out the old 5 gallon bucket I used to set on and going for it,and maybe some still hunting during peak movement times.

sweeney3:
I usually hunt from the ground, but not because I'm a great hunter.  On the contrary, I get bored and like to move around, shoot (at) squirrells, etc.  I have three stands that I can use, but I don't usually put them up.  There are things I like about both, but I usually find myself on the ground in some form.

mullet:
 About 90% of my hunting is on the ground.I'll sit in a stand for awhile but when it gets boring I go looking for something to shoot.

El Destructo:
I sit in my Stand till about 1/2 hour after Daybreak....if nothing is moving....then I am! I am always in a Guille Suit...and usually carry my a Dove Hunting Seat...ya know the ones that fold up and have the Game Pouch under them Legs.....that way I can get down and Still Hunt and Stalk what I can see....or find me a nice spot and sit in the Chair for a while and let things all soak in...I do better on the Ground than I have ever done in a Stand...but thats here in the Panhandle....ain't much cover....and the Wind will give you away in a Heartbeat too....never in only one direction here!

Pat B:
   After 30 years of hunting from trees (I was taught that was the only way to hunt deer in the south.  ??? ) I have started "trying" to do more ground hunting either by building natural ground blinds or slipping into and out of my tree stand hunts. I have never been one to get way up a tree; generally 10' to 12' at the most but at my age just thinking that sudden stop under me  :o draws me closer to hunting from the ground. Controlled movement with the wind in your favor will get you well down the ground hunting road and closer to success.
