Let’s start off with the similarities. The first similarity is
that you can use the same firearms in both styles. The firearms used in deer
hunting are muzzle-loader, rifle, shotgun, bow, and crossbow. With all of these
weapons can be used in a tree or from the ground, but some things are more
difficult to use in a tree or on the ground.
Another similarity is that people love both of them. It really
depends on how you were raised and what you prefer. I have been raised hunting
out of a tree-stand, so if someone asked me what I would choose, then I would
say a tree-stand. But if you asked a person rose from hunting on the ground,
then they would most likely say they prefer hunting from the ground.
A difference in ground from tree is on the ground you might have
to walk around and in a tree you are stationary. Like in turkey hunting you
hunt from the ground and sometimes you have to get up and walk around. In deer
hunting you can hunt from both styles, but I hunt in a tree-stand.
If you hunt on the ground then you can cover a lot more land and have a bigger
chance getting a kill. But in a tree-stand you make way less noise than on the
ground.
It is harder to see something in a tree than on the ground because
you are not at eye level where it is easier to spot something moving. This is
another difference between ground hunting and tree-stand hunting. The reason it
is harder to be seen in a tree than on the ground is because animals see in
front of them and don't normally look up. This is a major advantage to hunting
in a tree-stand.
These two ways of hunting are
extremely fun and exciting. Some people are scared of heights and would
rather hunt from the ground. This reminds me of an article I once read called "Ground
Blind Hunting" by Tom
Killian, in this he said "If you ever experienced falling out of a
tree-stand, you probably have little desire to have a repeat performance.”
There is ways to keep safe in a
tree-stand and that is to getting a safety system for yourself. These safety
systems can save your life in an emergency. The kind of harness that I use is
the one that I read about in an article one time. The article is called "Seat-O-The-Pants
Harnesses"; the article says "Hunters
love the Seat-O-The-Pants line of hunting safety harnesses and accessories
because they are designed to protect you from falls without limiting
movement." This is very important because if you can't move then you can't
get your phone and tell someone about your situation.
Both ways of hunting are fun and
exciting. It just depends on what you prefer. Thanks for reading this blog

I like ground hunting better than tree stand hunting.
ReplyDeleteYour post was pretty good. I found some of it confusing. You shouldn't focus on things that are so specific. Try looking at hunting from a broader point of view. Maybe compare different placed to hunt rather than different positions.
ReplyDeleteI havent ever really been hunting big things like deer ar anything but when i go squirl hunting i usually just walk around
