RE: Is there anyone here that doesn't use a tree stand? Or do all bow hunters use tree stands???
I've taken one animal from a tree stand with the bow. Most all of my hunting is done from the ground by spot and stalk or ambush. I recently picked up a ground blind to see how it would work. I've only taken one mule deer while spot and stalk hunting on the ground, and I will be blacktail hunting in October and in November on the ground with my bow. I've never tried whitetails though. From what I've read up on, they are a bit harder to stalk and shoot than pretty much any other type of big game.
