I absolutely love hunting from the ground! The thing I like most about ground hunting is being on the animals level, I arrowed one of my first archerywhitetail bucks from the ground, I had never even heard of a treestand back then in Idaho and he the buckhad no idea as to my whereabouts when the arrow went screaming though both of his lungs at 12 yards. His nose wasstuck in a does rump, he jumped out of the big scrape he was standing in, spun and then almost ran me over in my makeshift naturalground blind. I waved my hand in reflexthinkinghe was going topummel me. At the last second he made likeole #20 rb from theDetroitLions stopped on a dime, juked and thenbolted straight away 40-50 yards on a dead run before tumbling arse over tea-kettle and was done, I got to watch it all! It was wicked!His neck was swollenup like he was on 'roidsand he dressed over 200lbs, Yeah, I love hunting 'em on the ground ever since that drizzly day, still do it today. I get a whole different "high" out of shooting a critter at eye level. I probably bowhunt about 40/60 ground versus stands, and I like both methodsfordifferent reasons. Bulls and bears on the ground with abow in hand..just as exciting if not better than deer!
