On stand hunting: Picture flat to very gently rolling terrain. Cover it thickly with thorny brush, but for occasional small open areas and man-made lanes. The brush is generally higher than your head. Some areas, add in lots of dry leaves, sticks, and rolling rocks.
For a walking hunter, skill at snap shots on running deer can be successful. You have about ten feet of "deer-time".
Elsewhere, think of near-jungle conditions, again in nearly-flat terrain.
You can sit and wait on the ground, or you can seek elevation for vision down into the brush or undergrowth.
Stand hunting is a variation on a cougar's ambush.
Great country in the pictures. Nice buck!
