Do you prefer hunting from blinds or treestands?

Sounds like an anti trying to stir up trouble. On a side note, while whitetail may not be taken in most states with a spear, hogs can. And it's pretty dang fun to be honest. As well as humbling. I've hunted with 3 methods of spear. Atlatl, hand thrown, and thrust. The last was with catch dogs of course. Heck of a lot better than getting in there with a knife. You gain a seriously healthy respect for those indigenous tribes in other countries and some of the American Indian tribes that used the Atlatl. It isn't an easy weapon to get proficient with whatsoever.
I see the lure, people like to learn primitive skills. From a tree, throwing down, I don't see it as all impossible, but not all that easy mind you.
