I do both, tree stand and ground hunt. I have one tree stand not far from a big old apple tree that I get a deer from every year, plus it is along a swamp which the deer love to hide in near a run way. I also have a popup blind that I use when I'm going into another area I hunt and if it is going to be very cold, I bring my Mr Heater Jr, and stay alot longer than without it. I also have a portable blind material I use, plus I have the bucket with the camo and swivel seat that I use and place near a tree.
