Conditions definately determine my choice on this one. one of my hunting preferences is being up in the stand for both the view as well assisting with scent control. Had a small buck follow my tracks directly to the stand this year and he actually stopped under the tree and a large brick could have done the job. I do have another one of my favorite spots that is on the top of a ridge looking down the length of a 500 yard tree line where a chair on the ground is very comfortable and hunting that ridge over the years has been very successful. Our ML season is the 3 weeks directly before the rifle season and my partner and I are the only ones that hunt this area during this time so a slow quiet walk through the woods has also produced some good results. Being able to try all these methods definitely keeps hunting interesting and I learn something different with each method. I don't think I would enjoy hunting as much if I didn't do a little experimenting.
