It can be done, but if you think you would get frustrated sitting in a tree for a single day, your stalking days are already numbered.

As far as it relates to bowhunting, if (and that is a dang big if) you manage to stalk within range of a whitetail, there is a good chance it will be aware of your presence and will bolt when you try to draw. And if you get drawn, there is a good chance the deer will duck your arrow. There is no bow that can shoot faster than a whitetails reaction time. From an elevated position, a deer is usually unaware of the hunter and has to drop much further to get out of the arrows path due to the angle it travels at. It still happens though.

I think some time in the woods is in order. You can't understand the nature of this topic until you go out and experience it for yourself.
