RE: blind,tree stand or pushing deer
I love to sit in mytreestand. If you truly know how to place your treestand, it will put you where the deer are.
My reasoning on this is because I almost like seeing the deer in their natural form as much as shooting. I love to photograph the deer. It is hard to get a big buck on camera and in the bag before he sees, smells, or passes ya.
Deer Drives are ok when done correctly.
