I hunt on the ground about 98 % of the time. I've had alot of luck this way. I have a small fold up stool with a carrying strap that I use. I go in and find a couple trees close together or a brush pile, tree top, etc and sit in or next to. You need to keep the wind good or your wasting your time. This year I went to Kansas and hunted public ground and killed a 130 8 pt 40 yards from a road and yes I was on the ground. He makes the fifth P&Y buck in the last 6 yrs for me and they all were killed off the ground. Also, a small pair of pruning clippers are a must. good luck
