Funny you should mention hunting from a treestand; I'm the opposite. Growing up, the farm I hunt had few good trees to put stands in the locations I wanted, so I've almost always used ground blinds. The trees were selectively cut for timber, taking away the good tall, straight trees and leaving the little, young, and scrawny ones. I think they've gotten big enough now that there's a good selection, but I'm too stubborn to change.
