Unless you are bowhunting you can easily get it done from the ground,find some natural cover and sit still and make sure the wind is in your favor,and be ready a deer that knows where he is going is sometimes hard to stop.with a modern muzzle loader you should be able to find a spot to set up in range.With the season you are having not seeing a shooter you have nothing to lose and all to gain,the best bucks that I have taken were not killed sitting in stands,they were killed spot and stalk or sneaking through the woods and finding them,its possible to do with your bow but much easier with a firearm.Good Luck.If the deer aint coming around you go around them and you will have a better chance to score on a big one!!
