Hello All:

For a long time I have been a huge advocate of treestands. I have several and as a rule all set up in supposedly strategic positions to maximize the chances of getting a deer.

Well that may be changing. Last Easter weekend I am not sure if you all know, I was hospitalized with severe vertigo. I spent Easter weekend in a hospital and then a week at home recovering. The whole world was spinning out of control and until they pumped me full of drugs and antibiotics it did not get better.

I hate to say it but I do not believe I fully recovered as it acts up from time to time.

This past Sunday I went out with the crossbow in Connecticut and then attempted to hunt from one treestand. I know the treestand is an oddball. It is in a somewhat crooked tree and leans a bit.

When I got up the stick ladder I did not feel right. In fact the past weekend I got a touch of a relapse where I have felt off balance. This happened a month or so ago and I had to sit on the ground.

So. What method of hunting has been the most successful outside of a treestand? Thanks.
