I dnt know about any of you, but it gets rather OLD and tiresome moving Treestands around.. I'm sick of doing it! I swear, I'm gonna ONLY Ground hunt very soon.. Play the wind , find a blow down, a evergreen, etc, and sit further away from expected deer and Hope for the best... I can't just hunt the same spot all the time, I end up moving my stands..
What to do what to do...

I used to always hunt on the ground. Took my first several deer by stalking them. I have since been hanging from the treetops for the past several years, while still doing some ground pounding on occasion. I will be hunting from the ground a lot more this season. I get a little tired of sitting in one spot as you said and feeling like I have to sit a certain 'spot'. I think sometimes we get too caught up in that mentality or just trying to get to a certain area and overlook other opportunities. Many would be surprised what they can do on the ground. It's more fun as well.

I have a buck I'm pretty sure is the same one since he's been 1 1/2 half.. I seen him at 1 1/2, passed at 2 1/2, two photos of 3 1/2 now he's been sighted at 4 1/2.. No photos yet.. I need to do something unpredictable to get a shot I think or to even see him..

try a ground blind I would never have believed untill I did this past week I got one from my mother in law and decided to use last week after being tired of a sore back form hiking a mile or better with that heavy thing, and I just set it up to relax and hide from my wife nothing around it No extra cover nothing and right when I was going to get out and leave I decided to text my buddy and dee what he's seeing and Not like me at all but also had a smoke and had 2 deer walk up to me at 20 feet with the wind blowing right at them and never looked at me once !!!! go figure I did everything I wasn't supposed to do or ever did and had a momma doe and her yearling and just watched them for a good 45 minutes eatin acorns never once alerted to me or my smoking. (PS I Never smoked while hunting until that day) Since then I have sat in it 3 more times and see moreDeer than on the ground and the weird thing Was they kept looking up in the trree's ! I guess thats why unless I am 25 ft or better I always get busted and I have 4 differnet camo patterns sio I am very attentive to where I am sitting and what camo I wear I am going to have to agree with the artical I read reguarding deer being very adaptive to being shot at from the trees so for the sake of my back and the sudden Burst of deer sightings I am gona go more with a blind after the leaves fall give that a shot and I have the G@ blind for 59 bucks so it isn't that exspensive primos $400 blind I am convinced they work great give it a shot as far as ground stalking I have seen 13 so far the trick I find is to walk 2-5 steps and find a spot to hide like behind a tree wait 5 min or so then walk a bit more and just keep doing that Good Luck
