That's nice looking ground you got there Ridge Runner

Never took a deer with a bow, mostly rifle shot and mostly in bow range, no camo either....you play the wind....

I prefer trees but its getting harder to get in a portable. Like a roomy ladder stand.

anything other than sitting in a blind/box regardless if elevated. hunting isn't supposed to be from an apartment

I started doing the saddle thing last year.

Really getting my system dialed in this year.

It’s a game changer for me in a big way.

saddle for me. places i hunt arent really setup for hunting from the ground unless its an evening hunter over an ag field. in the woods around here, you might as well leave your gun at home if you're on the ground

Tree stands - but all ladder now. No more stick ladders or screw in steps.

Ground mostly

But I do have a couple ladder and tripod stands that I use occasionally, depending on the wind

If hunting for the ground, my camo is black now so I blend in to the inside of the blind. Deer see a lot less movement.

This post got me thinking and it was cold today so I decided to still hunt. Got within 15 yards of a bedded doe and fawn but along a fenceline we don't have permission to cross so i didn't shoot incase she jumped before expiring. Later I got within 6 paces of a bedded fawn before she got up, she didnt know I was there but just walked off so slowly. Thanks Coop, for getting me out of the tree and back on solid ground, it was a fun hunt for a cold snowy morning.

Tower stands, ladder stands, climbers, and lock on’s. Need to be elevated to see, plus it’s cheaper. I like my arrows sticking in the ground after passing through.
