Honestly I think it's really preference. If you have a great spot where you are very familiar with what's coming and going with good field of view and you want to pop a squat for a long time and enjoy the breeze along with your hunt then it can be really nice. But in terms of effectiveness, stalking has just provided more results for me. I don't have to yield to the day. I can move where I need to move. I can track. I can gauge the wind and herd and set up where needed. It's quicker in an area I know. But again it's just different purposes to me. Nothing wrong with a good tree stand and a nice waiting game if that's what you feel like doing.
