Well my stand was crushed when my tree fell over durring a storm last night so I am now confined to ground Hunting for the next 4 days any tips or info would be great. I have always hunted from a tree stand and it's not what I am used to. Honestly I am not fond of ground ZHunting but it's better than missing my season. I have hunted on the ground when I first started But I never shot a Deer from the ground only a tree. so any Tips that can Help me be a bit more sucessfull please feel free to let me know Thanks
I only hunt from the ground (wife and kids asked that I dont climb) Anyway. CT sounds like you have already found a good spot but if not for the tree falling down you would still hunt there.
I would just hunt the same area but from the ground. You may have to be a little farther off the trail to stay concealed but the trail should still be good. Build a ground blind from and around the native vegetation and sit there and wait.
Be ready to shoot at all times similar to turkey hunting. Keep your movement to a minimum. you should be fine... Good luck
