I have never been good at tracking, there are enough deer in the Black Hills that tracks get awful cluttered. Have not had much success.

I like still hunting, but normally it involves going from rattling location to rattling location. Or sitting for awhile, then moving to another location to sit. Have never put on 10-15 miles going after deer. Have done it many times covering ground while bowhunting elk.

Spot and stalk and is my preferred method.
I have not sat in a treestand for many years, easily close to 15.
I do not mind ground blinds, and that is how I hunt deer with my traditional bows

I like trucks, one of the best ground blinds ever made. Contain scent and do not leave a bunch of human scent on the ground contaminating the area.
