Getting older, spending more time looking like a bush than a tree these days. Anyone else?

Saddle in a tree for me

Dad will be 79 in less than 2 weeks and he is still hunting out of a tree

Tree but ladder stands

I generally prefer the ground. I like being able to move if a stalk presents itself.

this fat child stays on the ground

Box, ladder, ground blind, or strutter chair

Both, but I've killed many more on the ground ... Trust your camo, get comfortable so you're not squirming around, and play the wind

Ground........ both gun and bow. Haven't left the ground in about 30 years

Do more from the ground now. I like be able to make a move if needed, but I still occasionally hunt from a ladder stand. Eric

Neither i built a hay bale blind and put in the back of a barge box can put it about anywhere got a computer chair and Mr buddy heater in it.

Both but mostly up a tree the last few years. Still hunting is more exciting but sitting is easier. In school I couldnt stay still, so sitting on the ground I always want to know whats over the next rise and so I end up still-hunting not sitting lol

Trap setter has my style. Although bow is up a tree, rifle is mostly on the ground. I've killed far more from the ground

Was always a tree bow and rifle. But have a couple new Barronett blinds and have fallen in love with ground hunting. Last year passed a nice 130" 8 point making a scrape at 5 yards, so cool. I shot a 147" 12 point a couple weeks ago at 12 yards on the ground. These new see through blinds you can get away with a little more movement. Treestands are all ladders these days.

Box blind, pop up, and tree stands. I like the 360 degree view from the tree stands and the sights and sounds of being out in nature the best. On the other hand, I hate using the fall protection system harness and line. It can get pretty cold when the weather turns too. With the box blind I am out of the wind and with a propane heater I can hunt in any weather and be comfortable. The pop up isn't as comfortable as the box blind but is warmer than the tree stands and good even in the rain. Still hunting is my favorite way to spend time in the woods but I don't do it much anymore.

My tree stand hunting is limited to ML, pistol, or rifle. My crossbow is just a little heavier than a boat anchor so I don't take it up into a tree stand.

Started on the ground, did a short stint in a tree but went back to the ground, but instead of sitting literally on the ground or rock , and almost unable to get up without looking like a wounded bear, started collecting free resin chairs, located in appropriate areas...and I could get up and move easily to wherever....
I'd say most of the deer taken was from still hunting or the ground.

Got a couple of these... pretty satisfied so far.
Those bottom legs fold down to put you only a couple of inches off the ground if you choose to, which I usually do.

on the ground, prone. Have not been winded or spotted in years

It’s boots on the ground here. Slink quietly through the brush and timber. We shoot a few after spotting deer on the beaches also. My joke is “never made it to tree line”. Tree line being where the beach ends and the woods begin, lol.

Both, but these days mostly out of a tree. Only ladder stands though. I used to mostly still hunt, property ownership changes kind of forced me into sitting. I am considering building a heated blind for late season cold weather hunting.

I shot probably equal amounts from tree and ground but i do find i have better luck from the ground on new area but many things are to be considered what are you using for a weapon to start if hunting
with a bow i would suggest a ground blind or get up in a tree because lots of movement unless you practiced from a sitting position
with a crossbow or shotgun know your limits keep your movements to a minimum
with a rifle pay attention
movement is your worst enemy when deer hunting get comfy and really dont move other than your head deer are more spooked/cautious to movement than anything else you also dont need great camo deer see in shades of black and white so a pair of blue jeans will show up grey or black to them
