I call (grunt) only when necessary to try to bring a buck into range. That is the only time I make noise in the woods. Maybe a bleat once in a great great while.
90% of the time I am in a treestand.
The other 10% I am on the ground, most likely in a natural blind, though Predator camo is so good tha often the blind is unnecessary.

I do a lotta different things.I stand hunt some.Do a lotta spot and stalk hunting.Ground huntings my favorite, I dont use a blind most of the time but prefer to sit in whatevers already there for cover.Under the right conditions ll try tracking a deer to its bed if we have real fresh snow and Ive seen the deer.Still huntings fun.

That is really a "big" question. I try to hunt deer the best way suited to my location, temp, time of year, weapon choice, time available, etc...Each time I go out to hunt, it is different than the last, due to variables.

I hunt from a treestand. In the early season I hunt food sources and rarely call. As the rut picks up, I will do some rattling with soft grunts. When the rut is in full swing, I hunt where the does are, calling regularly...even if I'm calling blind.

Most of the time I'll just sit and wait in my treestand and grunt a little , only rattled a couple of times when I was in my ground blind.

Always from a tree stand! and I tried ratteling, ggrunting and about the only thing that worked for me once was the can, I called in a little doe once. So now I just sit and wait. But I do a bunch of pre and post season scouting.

I have not hunted from a tree in years. The last 6 years I have spent 95% of my whitetail hunting on the ground. I have become quite successful at tracking in the winter. During the fall I spend most of the days still hunting or photographing and video taping my kids and other hunters. I save most of my hunting for December when I can get on a set of tracks and hopefully follow it to a bedded or slowly traveling deer. Sometimes it works and others it does not, but when I do catch up to a deer and it happens to be a buck, there is nothing more rewarding than the great feeling of accomplishment from my efforts. If I happen to be able to shoot the deer than that is just a bonus.

I prefer to stalk. I usually start out still hunting and change over to stalk hunting if I come across a good set of tracks from a buck. Only recently have I been able to accomplish this task during the absence of snow. I have also run them down or hounded them, which is the absolute coolest way to hunt, but the lack of prime open land limits when and how that can be done. I’ll hunt from a blind or a stand if the conditions are not conducive to still/stalk hunting.

Calling and grunting does not work on my public land. The deer there can probably name the brand of call your using if given a chance. I ground hunt most of the time. I pack light and wear my turkey vest with the built in cusion. I'll sit up on a ridge, stump, or rock or something.
