Who else does it old school and how?
Still hunting mostly ... my preference. Natural blinds .. sit in a pocket in the brush to break up my silhouette and see what walks by. Very rarely spot and stalk.
We do a little of just about everything here 'cept tree stands. I've seen 2 in 50 years. One was pretty nice, the other was a home-made wooden death trap, a plank platform probably 30, maybe 40 feet above ground in a triangle of 3 firs. The ladder two it was made of 2 small fir trees sawed down with pieces of branch nailed between them. I know who built it .. despite the shoddy condition they were using it every year. Seems like one of those situations where you need a safety rope tied 'round your neck so you can't fall clear to the ground. The nice one .. I'd been running trail cams there for 2 winters before I saw it. Almost left the owner a note to watch his back 'cause there were a pair of cougars I was getting on my cameras fairly frequently. Probably should have.
