it depends, it can be a spot and stalk if i see the deer first. lol like last year a saw a doe at 60 yards and closed the distance to 20 with out her knowing just for practice. but i do like ground hunting mostly still hunting. its hard to do spot and stalk in PA woods but it can be done. my first buck was taken while still hunting. i made him stand up from his bed and smack, only went 20 yards. I feel like still hunting or spot and stalk with a bow is buy far the most challenging way of taking any game animal. especially elk where you have to close the distance by hundred of yards sometimes.
