I am in NW CT. I have done both in the past when I hunted some farms which had enough room to walk a little bit. But that was then and this is now. I hunt on the ground stands on state land. Relatively speaking I do OK. If I tried to still hunt all that I would succeed in doing is driving the deer to another hunter or outside the boundaries where I can legally hunt. When I have gone to Canada (Anticosti) I love still hunting.
