elkcrazedfrk,not really disagreeing with you but 95% if the places I hunt are too thick to spot and stalk,most places around here if you fall down you won't hit the ground the brush will catch you. If I lived in an area where you could creep quietly thru the woods spot and stalk would be another tool for me to use and I think enjoy. All hunters must learn to hunt under the conditions of the area they hunt,around here it's thick,and it's hard to sneek up on a deer in an open field. I have used standing corn to cover my stalk before,but most of that has been picked by hunting season. The invite is still open to come try stalking.but I think you'll be up a tree after a day or two. Not all of my stands are over bait but some are.
