I like this thread. Being from the Midwest I've spent many hours in a tree stand bowhunting whitetails. I love the idea of finding a great spot to bowhunt elk from a treestand and I think you would be surprised how much more successful you would be rather than chasing them on foot. so many advantages about letting the animal come to you versus chasing them. Although elk are a whole different animal than whitetails and live in different environments I think the challenge would be a lot of fun.
