I use a millennium tree seat and play the wind. I have seen/killed just as many deer as from an elevated stand.

Very interesting post and replies. I would love to hunt more from the ground, but the older I get and with aches and pains and arthritis and all that, I just have a hard time being completely still for very long. I even have that problem in my climbers. anyone else have this dilemma? Maybe it's too much coffee before the hunt too. lol

I kill the majority of my deer from the ground. No blind. Just a gun and gobbler lounger. Very effective, but you got to play the wind and thermals. This^^^

Best investment you'll ever make for hunting from the ground. It is as comfortable as the best climbers out there. Hammock Seat

Out of curiosity- for you guys that hunt from the ground or hunt slipping through the woods- do you prefer a rifle or shotgun (buckshot)? Seems that several posters hunt thick cover and have close encounter so curious if anyone uses a shotgun. I typically carry a rifle (compact like a 30-30) when hunting from the ground, always like to hear what others use.

I typically carry a rifle (compact like a 30-30) when hunting from the ground, always like to hear what others use. Only shotgun id wver carry for a deer is a slug gun with a rifled barrel. In my short life ive seen alot of deer get burnt by buckshot an if they died at all it was a long ways from where they were shot. I have ahot exactly one deer with buckshot..a spike..at about 35 yrds. I shot it an it run 350 yards to my cousin an he killed it. We were dog huntin an i was about 14. I swore id never tote it again..

270 for me unless I'm in tight quarters. All I have left is a single shot 12 that has put a few down. Can't hit a bird for chit with it but it's lethal on deer, rabbits and squirrels.

I've enjoyed reading this and will be getting a hammock seat for Christmas now. I get playing the wind, but what does "playing thermals" mean? Just a 53 year old rookie trying to learn.
Thanks

The sin coming up in the morning and going down in the evening. Rising and lower temps are thermals.

I like slipping around on the ground with either my bow or my .444 Marlin with iron sights.

I've had back problems since I was a teen and then surgery last year, so I have a hard time sitting still for very long. I may try that hammock seat myself. It looks comfortable.
