I know alot of people that hunt this way and are very successful. I don't think they use stools but sounds like a good way to me. I think use the wind and have a good plan to set up and you bow hunters can have good luck. The same when you use a blind.

To say hunting out of a treestand is the ONLY way is just wrong. How you gonna hunt a treestand say in the middle of the South Dakota prarie? There isn't a tree for miles! To say hunting out of a ground blind is the only way to go is just wrong, too. If you're hunting thick foliage, you may need the altitude to get a visual.

Both are TOOLS that have times when they will work better than the other. I have killed deer out of stands and blinds both. I've been busted in a climber 20' in the air and been busted in a ground blind. A well placed ground blind is just as effective as a well placed tree stand.

Now, if you want to know which I prefer....I say the ground blind. There is just NOTHING like being face to face with a whitetailed deer at 5 feet!!

id go with a climber if you have the easy access otherwise if you have a hard time settin up go with the blind.

I need both. I prefer a tree stand, but there times when I find the perfect spot and there aren't any trees around. You've got to be versitile.

i prefer a pop up blind when hunting because i dont open up all windows all the way just enough where i can see and shoot out of and i can move and they will never see me but a tree stand it better for hardwood bottoms and ridges

Been on the ground for four years now due to age and health reasons
works great for me,to each his own!

Personaly I beleive in Tree stands all the way!!!

Tree stand Summit Vipers are the way to go.
