Default RE: POLL - Treestand vs. Still Hunting

1. Whitetail, turkey - some predator hunting.
2. (bow)Stand Hunting - 80%; still hunting 20% - No Ground blinds
2a.(gun)stand Hunting - 50%; Still hunting 30% - Ground blind 20%
3. Stand hunting, I love the science of it, and the radical departure from my normally fast paced life.
4. Success rate - tough question - I might relocate my stand(s) a dozen times before a good shot is taken is this like 8%?- I take a decent buck every other year with a bow, and a doe each year usually, Plus a deer or two every gun season. If success is a deer taken every year, I do all right. Sometimes my most successful hunts, are when I FIGURE A DEER OUT - and no shot is taken.

5. I do not rifle hunt for deer - shotgun/muzzeloader where I am. I do rifle hunt for coyotes and fox in the winter and enjoy that alot.
