RE: I think my best stand ISN' T a STAND!?
Congratulations, Matt. You' ve taken your first steps into a wider world.
I' ve religiously avoided treestands ever since my first experience with one. Always have been and always will be a ground hunter.

Arthur I am with you, I do not like tree stands unless it is one I built myself, I have hunted more from the ground than anywhere else. The thrill of fooling a deer on its own level is a real rush that no one can appreciate until they have done it.
Matt you have what in my book as a ground hunter is the perfect spot, keep us posted on how things go.

I have one area with heavy cover but the trees are not big enough to hang a stand so I' m going to try the ground blind using an Ameristep Doghouse. Kinda looking forward to the change from the treestand route.

Matt,
After picking up a ground blind last year I somewhat rediscovered my love for ground hunting. Though I do not think it is as effective, for me, as treestand hunting I definitley think it is necessary for certain scenarios....yours in particular.
Though not on the opener I too will be hunting from the ground on various occasions when terrain and the weather dictate.
