For traditional deer hunting, do you guys prefer hunting a tree stand or from the ground? What is most effective?

Last night, I attended a training to be a leader in an organization that connected hunters with farmers to help the farmers deal with deer damage. The organization leads hunts in fall and winter on that farm for people who are new to hunting. Only does are being harvested. The hunters are allowed to harvest two. Rifles are used. They can take one with them and donate the other to hunters against hunger. They can donate both if they choose. It is a great way to get hunters in the field and helping farmers as well Part of the training for the leaders was to go on a "shoot" on the farm. Granted, pulling the trigger was optional. It is part of the package deal for the farmer. The target was 25 does to be harvested. No fawns were to be shot. The temperature was about 90deg but they had a cooler trailer for the harvested does. All of the does harvested were donated. I understand that deer do a lot of damage to fields. The farmer that farms the field around my house expects to loose 30% of the harvest to animals. I am curious what everyone's opinion about the "shoot". Would you participate in the shoot? Why? Thanks for sharing your opinion.
