Took three off the ground last year. Can't say if it's more of a rush than in the tree because I have yet to kill from one but it got my blood pumping.

My first nine years of bowhunting was on the ground. Not in a blind. I made some natural blinds and used many ambush spots to catch them off guard. I think the difficulity factor goes way up. By the way your PM box is full.

I may have access to 30 more acres that's teaming with deer. If I get in there.....I might give it a go in a natiral ground blind. What the heck????

Thanks for all of the opinions/replies.

i took my first deer off the ground and ive never felt the same rush taht i didn that night...maybe cuz it was my first...but idk...it was awesome

Ok, I can't say I ever shot any animal with a bow but I sure have stalked lots of them. And I do get a rush everytime....
you can see some pics on my flickr account because getting them on HNI big enough to be seen is a real pain in the....
I stalked a young buck once in a cut cornfield in the fog, I managed to come up very close, about 4 or 5metersand after taking some pics I spooked him, the noise must have bounced off the end of the forest or the echo must have confused him because he ran straight to me and ran me over.....

It's the norm up here. I've taken more animals from the ground than from a tree. It's definitely more of a "rush", challenging and satisfying, especially when there's the potential of them eating you!

RESPECT!

Never tried it but what I have been reading sounds like a great rush

And if your really looking for a challenge... Do it with out bait

I've killed 4-5 off the ground... Not really much difference in the rush to me... In fact, I prefer the trees. I believe your knees knock harder when your 20ft up a tree!
