Default hanging your bow

just wondering how most people ghang their bows on a hook in a tree - do you stick the hook through a hole in the cam or do you place the hook under the string (between string and limb)??

string and bow ...tried the holes in the cam, but it was too hard to un-hook the bow, when a deer was coming.

Typically hang it on the cam depending on the type of hook I am using. I picked up one of those EZ hangers this year so that might change.

I usually only hang my bow, when my hands get to cold or I need to stretch or something--then it gets hung up on my EZ-hanger between the string and limb--other than that I like to keep it on my lap with my release ready to go.
