A tree stand isn't necessary a ground blind will work too, as will still hunting. This year while rifle hunting I had four deer come to within under 20 yards of me and I think that I could've shot them had I had my bow with me. Of course drawing without getting detected is always the hardest part.  Point is it can be done and lots do it successfully. Don't let not wanting to be in a tree stand prevent you from bow hunting.

The kill is the satisfying, indeed essential, conclusion to a successful hunt. But, I take no pleasure in the act itself. One does not hunt in order to kill, but kills in order to have hunted. Then why do I hunt? I hunt for the same reason my well-fed cat hunts...because I must, because it is in the blood, because I am the decendent of a thousand generations of hunters. I hunt because I am a hunter.- Finn Aagard
