i know out west ya'll dont do much of the deerstand thing.
Out here in the Northwest, the guys that bowhunt whitetails do and are using treestands a lot, other than that..elk, mule deer its definately more on the ground. Like I eluded to in my earlier post, I often opt for the treestand set upon whitetails over my favorite way to bowhunt them off the ground..for obvious reasons... better odds of killing them.
