I' d have to say my favorite way to hunt is from a treestand. I did hunt from the ground the last month of this past season and I did begin to like that too. It is more difficult since you have to watch your movement and scent control more. I did like having the ability to be more mobile, but I can stay sitting longer while in a treestand. They both have their advantages and disadvantages so definitely try both. I know I' m going to try hunting from the ground more this year.
