After bow season I am usually on the ground. Where I hunt the understory make a long shot near impossible from an elevated stand but on the ground I can get a clear shot of 70-150 yards at times. I prefer to be above mid ridge in some rock if possible on the hilly areas and next too or between a few larger trees or a blown over root ball on the flat areas. Sometimes I'll just sit on a log but a cushion helps for comfort as I suffer from Irish butt.
