Stand, blind,or stalk.

Just wondering about the different methods you guys use. I prefer hunting mostly out of a blind once i find some good areas i put a few up and hunt from there. How about you.

Treestand for deer, stalk for elk.

stalk and sit for everything. have been considering buying one of those light weight pop up blinds for yotes this year tho

All of the above - I use whatever the situation calls for.  I've always got a portable treestand with me on elk hunts.  Setting up on a hot wallow is best from above.  I prefer to call in elk because I love calling game.  If calling isn't in the cards for whatever reason, I will set up on trials or ambush sites.  I love spot and stalk hunting whenever possible, for any specie.  I typically hunt blacktails from treestands but am starting to use my Double Bull blind with my 7 year old daughter to get her in on some hunts.

I have taken stands, but just using the natural stuff around me, on the ground.  I much more prefer stalk and spot, once in my hunting area.

I like to sit in stands and watch what comes in.  I can be very selective and probably only take 10% of the shots available.  I also like to cover a lot of ground in a day.  I'm a let's see what's over the next ridge kinda hunter.  Both serve their purpose.

Milk, cookies, and video poker while you wait for your elk in your tree stand..... but it does work!  ya ya I know it puts the meat in the freezer!

Spot and stalk

I like the spot and stalk, but in Sept. the woods are so loud that the stand is the more practical way.  I see many more animals in my stand.  The only bad thing is having to sit all day.  Good luck.

I've yet to hunt from a treestand..  As a rifle hunter mainly, I just haven't done it but would love to.  But mainly I hike in somewhere and sit for 30-45 minutes in the dark and cool down and just sit and watch for a few hours.  Then stalk through the woods and glass a ton during the day.  Try to get in to my evening spots at least 3 hours before sunset and sit and wait for the magic minutes just before dark!

I'm a rookie, but I got a spike in 2007, and my buddy got one in 2008 the same way. We mostly find a good spot to sit tight on the ground and watch from half-hour before shooting time till about 10:00 am. Then again the same thing from 3:00 pm till shooting's done. I've got to say that I've seen the most elk in the early evening. We don't do anything special about a blind. Never had much luck stalking or still hunting. All I see that way is running behinds or nothing at all.
