Default Advice for begginer bow hunter

Hey everyone so I am starting to get into bow hunting and have been practising a lot. I was just wondering what style of hunting you find works best on crown land. I have been hunting 412 area with rifle the past couple years. Do you recommend a tree stand or blind or stalking. Thanks everyone.

Mostly deer but would love to get into moose and elk as well. Just need to put in the work and scout.

Whitetail I'd use a climber stand on crown land, they're pretty skiddish even in the early season, Muley if you can pattern them a climber would work, otherwise spot and stalk is pretty effective, elk I would call and stalk in early-mid September, moose I would call and stalk in late September- mid October.

Try it all .. You will learn what you like and what you don't like, what works and what doesn't and where to use what, when....

But a good place to start is in the bush where alot of trails come together. Then climb up into a tree and wait.
