RE: Do you stalk or wait:blind/tree stand
Stalk, ground blind, tree stand, depends on circumstances such as where, when and what you are hunting to make any technique work for you. Ground blinds are not my first choice but sometimes the right spot does not have a tree or on an in season scouting trip which occur when hunting new areas out of state you do not always have a tree stand to put in a tree. While still hunting, I carry a small stool in my day pack and set up a ground blind when I happen upon a spot that shows promise. If, sign, wind, cover is right, I set up my stool against a tree, my bow holder in the ground in such a position that I can pick up and draw my bow with minimal movement, make myself as comfortable as possible and wait. When hunting on the ground, scent control is even more critical than when hunting up in a tree.
