ive had great success hunting from the ground. (stalking) havent tried much blind hunting from the ground. ive stalked and got a clean shot on 5 bucks in the past 3yrs. one being a 160 class 10pt. unfortunatley i hit him in the shoulder and didnt get much penetration. luckly he lived. we saw him late in the season walking with a slight limp. i usually only stalk when its nasty weather. really windy and or rain. moving extremely slow and trying to keep the wind in my face and hoping to see the deer first. its an unreal feeling! its much more fun than stand hunting. you are constantly on edge. i still stand hunt but stalk everytime the weather is rite.
