Stand hunters need not be so rigid
Some time during our relatively recent evolutionary past, hunters in this part of the country transitioned from stealthily stalking deer with spear, bow or gun to passively plopping our rears into elevated stands and sleepily waiting for deer to come to us. Make no mistake: The sit and wait, ambush technique of stand hunting is frequently effective, especially when a hunter scouts an area to learn deer habits and when he or she uses deer attractants.
