I've taken 4 whitetail from the ground while spot and stalk, BUT a much bigger accomplishment was the two antelope that I spot and stalked in the last two years. Much more challenging than the whitetail, hands down!

I took my first deer from the ground. He was an 8 pt buck. He walked past at 5 yards, and i took him when he got out to about 20 yards. This was on a field edge, and my father got it all on video. Major Rush!

Jeff, both of my Pope and Young qualifying bucks were taken on the ground, one at 25 yards and the other at a mere 8 steps. Both incidents were very fortunate in the way the hunts unfolded. I've also taken a couple of other deer from the ground. Not going to tell any long stories, but will say that taking a deer from the ground is very very exciting and rewarding!

I don't know how many deer I've killed in my life, probably around 40-45 total between gun and bow, but all but 5 were killed while hunting on the ground. I like the extra challenge that ground hunting offers. I don't use a blind either. Most often I just sit behind a couple of trees that are close together. The trick is knowing when and when not to move. I tried hunting out of climbers for a while but I hated having to pack the stupid thing around all of the time. What a pain. Now all I carry is a small fold up stool with a pouch to put scent, snacks, etc. in. It works great and makes me very mobile which I like. During rut, when I see a buck dogging a doe and they aren't heading my way I just grab my stool and move to a better position. It's a ton easier and faster than getting a stand down and packing it around.
