What's your preference guys? I personally think both is about equal in terms of success.I even prefer to be on the ground when air temp is cooling down, as cold air current pushes your scent to ground level making being in a tree stand a disadvantage.
When you do use a tree stand, how high do you go?
I prefer about 15ft. and no higher so I can get a sure shot at the heart or get to shoot double lungs.
OK let's hear it from the experts down here.
Hi Huntrfishr
I have just joined the forum so this is my first post.I live in england and, most of my farm deer control takes place out of a high seat over farmland,i find that when you have large groups in front of you its easier to pick the one you want.you are right about success when the rut is on,when those stags and bucks start getting at it,i recon i could stalk them with tin cans tied to my legs.I think that its your personal choice with what you feel comfortable with.
