Technically, sitting in a treestand is not hunting. It's ambushing.

transitive verb
1: to station in ambush
2: to attack from an ambush : waylay
intransitive verb
: to lie in wait : lurk


Moving and stalking on the ground is actual hunting.

transitive verb
1a : to pursue for food or in sport <hunt buffalo> b : to manage in the search for game <hunts a pack of dogs>
2a : to pursue with intent to capture <hunted the escapees> b : to search out : seek
3: to drive or chase especially by harrying <members … were hunted from their homes — J. T. Adams>
4: to traverse in search of prey <hunts the woods>


So, how many people are deer hunters and how many are deer ambushers?


I guess that I pursue,traverse, and search out a tree to ambush deer. Therefore, I am a tree hunter for the intention of being a deer ambusher.
