Default RE: Ground hunting with bow

ORIGINAL: Phil from Maine

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.
I was thinking this too. So i went out and bought some multicolored thumb tacks to stick on trees at 20yds, 30yds and 40yds from my location. I thought this might help me a bit.
I have always hunting from the ground but have never tried bowhunting. Thought i would give it a try this year so i could spend more days in the woods.
