I hunt from the ground almost exclusively and usually it's "stand" hunting just from the ground. Ground hunting is much quieter going in to a new area in the dark with nothing to fumble around with and make noise.
I'll use the saddle as a lookout to pinpoint deer movement on a property then when the conditions are right, I'll usually go in on the ground where I can get as close as I can without making much noise. It's true you'll probably see more deer from an elevated position but how many of these deer are shootable deer? When I'm on the ground, the shooting lanes are minimally cleared out (enough to slip a shot through) and I'm in an area of high deer movement, I make sure these will be high percentage shots or chances at shots as long as there's no other outside influences.
You must be still and quiet when hunting on the ground!! Deer pick up on movement really easily.
Dress for the occasion!! If you're hunting in CRP grass and have a green blob of a ghillie suit on, you may be picked out pretty easily.
I love hunting in eastern red cedars from the ground because not only do they conceal movement but if you've ever let milkweed go while sitting in one, your scent seems to just kind of hover within the tree and fall to the ground. Bring a few bungee straps or para cord to tie back limbs if you can't cut lower limbs but make just nice little nook for you to sit in and a lot of times you can just weave the limbs around each other to eliminate trimming or tying them back at all.
Ground hunting opens the doors to a whole new world of hunting whitetail. With a little creativity, you can set up almost anywhere and aren't tied to a tree literally and figuratively.
One more thing, have a comfortable seat so you're not fidgeting around. Waldrop Pac Seat, Larry Chair, Amazon "Heyeasy" hammock chair, lowdown hunting chair, your favorite fold out camping chair, turkey chair, etc.
