I was surprised to see so many comments pertaining to last week’s column. I wrote about how I felt you had an advantage hunting from the ground. With most things in life, you can use numbers to support your findings

I knew there were serious tree stand hunters out there, but not to the extent realized this past week. I had mentioned that I felt ground hunting had advantages over stand hunting. You would think I had insulted someone’s mother or called their kid ugly. One guy went as far as to call me an idiot if I actually thought you were better off on the ground. I decided to sit down and score how they compare. Anyone can use this method based on their own style and experience. The comparison will be based on the five S’s: Shot, smell, sight, sound, and sneak. One point will be given to the best suited set for the job.
