Calm days I always hunt from a stand and I may or may not see any deer. Windy days I love! I spot & stalk on the ground. See deer everytime and have killed more deer on the ground than from any tree stand. Move when the wind blows and stop, look, & listen when it stops. Always move with the wind in your face and so slow it almost hurts. Use tree's, bushes, shrubs, or any cover you can to your advantage and use binoculars as your eye's. They'll allow you to see farther out and spot something before they spot you!
