Default RE: who bow hunts from the ground?

Oh yeah! The only way to go! I do 95% of my hunting from the ground. As was stated before, I use overgrown fencerows, blowdowns, thickets, or cedar trees for cover. I really like the cedars if I can find one big enough and in the right spot. I try to find one with the limbs about 3 1/2 feet off the ground and a trunk about 2 feet in diameter. Then I slide up underneath it with my 5 gal. bucket to sit on, break out my pruning shears and trim a couple of branches off for a shooting lane, and break up the pieces to allow the cedar scent to release. Great cover for the deer' s eyes and nose!
