IL gun hunters use treestands... not always but almost always.

Yes they do, certainly the bvast majority. In fact, EVERY gun hunter I know uses treestands or ground blinds. The only exception seems to be the small numbers of hunters who "drive" (utilize forced movement) for deer on the last day or so of the season.

I use what ever the hunt is going to require. Sometime its on the ground and sometimes its in a tree. I've used my bow and gun on both situations. All my friends who gun hunt use stands also.

Treestands are the preferred way to hunt deer with a gun, here in MN, and across North America.

Way to go Captain Obvious! Did you come to that conclusion all by yourself of did the highly slanted poll influence that extremely rhetorical post of yours?

I feel I can see more from a stand especially by the time gun season comes when the majority if not all the leaves are down making me able to get further shots and see more activity.

I was strictly a ground pounder in the northern climes. But in the South, I got scented too many times on warm humid days.

Planning to get a blind for multiple use, for summer photo shoots and using it during hunting season along with the tree stand. Will work good on cool rainy days late in the season, or just plain cool days. The bones are not getting any younger.

Avoid a tree stand in the south, and learn the hard way. Leaves still on the trees during gun season.
