I only hunt on the ground and have been very successful. I like to set up at a tree large enough to conceal me while drawing my bow. I clear the leaves from around the entire base of the tree which allows me to move 360 degrees around it, in silence, while keeping the tree between me and the deer. Scent control is extremely important as well as hunting with the wind in your favor. I also use a screw-in bow hanger. And last, but not least, when I move, it's very slowly. The trick is seeing the deer before it see's you! If you do, the odds are in your favor. Good Luck!
