I only hunt from the ground and love it. I do not use blinds and I like to stalk. When not stocking I like to find a nice tree to lean back against while watahing for deer to come by. A good cover scent is a must for me, and the biggest problem is trying to get your bow drawn back when they are so close to you. I find it very challenging hunting from the ground and enjoy it when you can look into the eye of a deer as it is walking by you. One of the harder things about it is judging your distance. Good Luck and happy hunting.
