In my area the terrain is wide open with no cover other than rolling hills and draws. There are plenty of deer, but they've got no patterns. Spot and stalk in that circumstance means, "See them feed over a ridge, run two ridges past that, find a bush to setup in front of, and pray that you picked the right spot when they come over that ridge." It is possible, and I've been plenty successful with the bow, but it is not easy. There simply isn't enough cover to get within 150 yards of them when they're bedded where I hunt. I'd use a treestand over a good trail, but there are no trees, so it would just turn into a short chair.
