Who hunts from tree or ground?

I prefer my Summitt climber or buddies ladder stand. On some occasions I use a ground blind on rainy/ Windy days or just bare ground.
 
99 percent of the time im in a stand. I hate hunting out of blinds and we have enough stands on our farms and I have 3 climbers that its very rare to be on the ground.
 
Mostly from stands. Occasionally from a natural blind trees that are down,a dead cedar that has blown over is my favorite a clump of live cedars works good also.I also like a slow stalk on a rainy day hunt.

It just depends on the situation for me. If I had my prefence I'd be 20' up a tree in my climber but if there aren't any good trees around I'll make a natural blind like mentioned above. The only time I hunt out of a pop up is when I take my kids.
 
Both, but mainly my Summit Viper. If it is new area or I want to be mobil I will just bring in a chair and hunt from the ground.
 
Mostly from a stand especially with a bow in hand. I do a lot of ground hunting with a rifle in my hand. In these mountains it's easy to find good vantage points.
 
known property that I hunt a lot will have a ladder stand, new or rarely hunted from the ground more than likely, also the terrain plays a big part, I'm not comfortable in a climber any more so it goes rarely but if a area is hot & that's the best way then it goes
 
Both, most ground kills are with a rifle and I usually bowhunt from a tree but will from the ground on occasion. I mainly use a climber but sometimes a lock on or a buddy's ladder stand depending on where I hunt.
 
It depends on the situation. If there's a tree to climb/hang a stand, that's what I'll do. If not, I'm fine with a ground blind.
 
Almost exclusively the stand. So much more comfortable, easier to stay still, above eye level, scent up high, etc etc. I prefer my climber over ladderstands just due to the comfort of my summit. I can bring a snickers bar and sit in that mug all day!
 
I hunt equally from both. I like to be mobile during the rut, especially when I can hear chasing going on and I want to close in the distance.
 
Prefer to be in a tree, feel more confident on the hunt. But will frequesntly use the shooting houses on our lease, especially when sons is with me or rain is forecasted.
 
Mostly from stands on places I know but if I'm trying to learn a place I'll hunt the ground moving around trying to find deer
 
I only gun hunt and most of the time I'm in a blind. Couple places I walk in and sit, but most of the time it's pretty cold and I'm to the age where being warm and dry is a plus.
 
Tree 99% of the time. I will occasionally have a set up that requires a ground hunt but rarely.
 
Tree most of the time. But I do on occasion hunt from the ground or one of my shooting houses, especially on a rainy day.
I have a hard time staying in one spot hunting on the ground..........it always looks like there might be a better spot over there........
 
Exclusively ladder stands. The only time I ever hunt from the ground is still-hunting during very windy weather.
