I know for a fact what you are wanting to do can be done in Alabama. Here in Michigan if you were a archery hunter you were forced to hunt from the ground up until the 1970's and many did so.
The secret that most can't under stand with all the crap being sold today is moving slow really slow like if you break a tree branch your around to see a new shoot grow near the broken one, your moving so slow.
If you have the experience which it sound as if you do then your a step ahead.
