Although I aquired a couple of climbers last year to "try the other side" I normally hunt from the ground in either a natural or manmade blind . Contrary to popular belief deer can and do look up since the invention of the tree stand , at least they do in my area . With regard to scent dispersal I think an enclosed tent style blind is better than ducking behind a deadfall or rock , but ground hunting in general demands more attention to scent control . I use a cover scent on my blinds like earth or acorn in addition to personal scent control . I've had deer graze just feet away from me on more than one occasion since the blind hides my movement .
