I've been hunting on the ground more and more - it is amazing how hunting went from tree stands being illegal (at least where i come from) to almost everyone using tree stands. Hunter motion seems to be more visible in a tree as opposed to sitting on the ground.
Tree stands come in handy when you need to see over stuff, but if you just want to hunt, ground hunting is great.
I use a portable chair and a shooting stick. Last deer I shot while on the ground was while I was sitting in the center of a dirt road T - looking left and almost right. Deer came from left, spotted me and came closer to see what was up.
Disclaimer - I hunt off the ground, out of ladder stands, and use a lock on with sticks. One day I hope to have my own shooting house too.
