RE: tree stand or ground
A good ground blind will produce deer with a bow as readily as with a tree stand...you just really must keep movement to a minimum and control your scent.
Either a natural or store bought blind will work, though a store bought blind is easier. All you need to do is brush it a bit...look at "Double Bull" or "Ameristep" at Cabelas or Bass Pro
Good Luck

RE: tree stand or ground
I have hunted from both and a tree stand is much more forgiving but ground hunting can be fine if you set up correctly.
As far as the stand allowance wieghts I am right at 300 pounds and hunt from a ladder stand all the time. I am not telling you too but they are pretty stable if strapped up right. They also make stands they have higher wieght allowances if you are willing to pay alittle more.
