RE: Preferred Method...
 

Ground blind with a 12 gauge shotgun. I tried hunting from a treestand and I liked it alot.....until I fell out of it and shattered my foot. I'd like to try it again, but my family and hunting party won't let me get back up there.

RE: Preferred Method...
 

I have had no choice as to the tpe of hunting that I've been able to do in the past. All I could do is hunt from the ground via a ground blind. I was to oheavy for a tree stand and was unable to walk a lot so stalking was out.

My good news is that I've lost 142 pounds so far and expect to loose another 85 pounds or so. I recently bought two tree stand to use next season just because I will be able to use them. Man it feels good to say that!!! I believe that I will enjoy the tree stand hunting much better than hunting from the ground. I know that I will like the field of view much better than from the ground.

Where you using a safety harness?

First off KYhuntsman you should feel proud of what you have accomplished. Way to go. I hunt almost 100 percent from ambush points along deer routes to feed areas. Sometimes from tree stands but more often from ground blinds. I am a bit old to spot and stalk as I would never be able to lug out the meat. I used to enjoy that method though. Time flies. Enjoy the rigors of hunting while you can.:)

I like to slip up on 'em from behind & when they're least expecting it... buy 'em a drink! [>:]

RE: Preferred Method...
 

For all biggame except black bears I hunt on the ground. As to method I like it all from spot n stalk, still hunting, sitting and so on. However my favorite method is to call be it grunting moose, bugling elk or rattling whitetails it is just a rush to get a response from any of these animals.

Nothing better than listening to a couple beagles running.

RE: Preferred Method...
 

If I'm using my bow I'm up a tree. If it's my rifle, I still hunt mornings and evenings, spot and stalk during mid day.

RE: Preferred Method...
 

it depends on the game i am chasing

mule deer and elk: spot and stalk
antelope: still hunt from a ground blind or spot and stalk
bear: tree stand over bait or spot and stalk
caribou: spot and get in front of the heard let them come to you
cougar: with hounds
whitetail: treestand or spot and stalk
moose: waiting on a tag but im guessing i will spot and stalk
wolve, coyotes, and other predators: any way i can kill them(bait, trap, or shoot)
grouse and pheasant: behind a german shorthair
rabbit: flush(drive)
