I'm sure this is a huge debate amongst hunters, but since I am brand new to the sport I need some education. How important is it to use a stand. I am not the kind of guy who is going to try stalking a deer (not yet atleast, I need to learn more about them first). My style so far seems to be to find a spot that looks promising and sit down on the ground and wait for a deer.

I know this style is probably flawed in many ways, but would a stand help me out a ton in this situation? Is on the ground OK? I've read some of the benefits to using a stand and it seems like the way to go. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Thanks,

Matt
