hunting whitetail on the ground
Pat B:

woodstick:
gona hunt this year from the ground alot but fixing to have knee surgery in bout a week.
mullet:
I have a ladder stand set 30' from my feeder, and a pop-up blind 45' from it. I'll hunt either one, depending on my mood, the weather or if I'm after that big Tom. Never had much luck with turkey's out of a stand.
I do go high, if I'm hunting with the 300WM, or the 30-06. I don't think I've ever been as high in a tree as I was at Chris Cades farm last year with the Winmag, had noise bleed. Usually I stalk, cammoéd real good and move slow, stop and take a nap, and cover a lot of ground.
Buffalogobbler:
I hunt from the ground all the time!
Because I love It!
I don't move around much, I've got a great spot in an old apple orchard.
I build a stick blind and wait it out.
over the years this method has been very successful for me.

Postman:
I usually hunt next to a blowdown or other natural blind, and have cobbled together ad-hoc blinds on the spot with some success. Still waitin' for my first lobngbow deer, but have gotten a few at short range with wheelies and guns. I think scent control is more important than in a tree.
