Typically I spot and stalk hunt when I'm archery hunting. Until I decide I can't kill a buck...then I just road hunt and kill a doe :chuckle:

Spot and stalk works good if it's open enough to spot but there's enough cover to make a successful stalk. In the thick timber or brush, not so much. Stands work good if animals are moving. Still hunting works good if animals are bedded or just holed up in good cover. Ground blinds are good in fairly open country, tree stands are better in thick brush. Easier to see down into brush than through it.
