In what type of hunting strategy do you sit concealed above the level of your quarry?

The correct answer is elevated stand. This hunting strategy involves positioning yourself above the level of the animals you are hunting, usually in a tree or a raised platform. The height provides several advantages: it enhances your line of sight, helps conceal your movement from the game, and often allows you to stay out of the animal's usual line of sight, making it easier to remain unnoticed until you're ready to take a shot. Additionally, being elevated can help you avoid detection from the wind direction.

In contrast, a ground blind involves hiding at ground level, providing concealment but not the elevated vantage point. The walk-and-stalk strategy focuses on tracking and pursuing animals on foot, emphasizing movement rather than being stationary. Spot and stalk hunting also requires tracking but generally does not involve elevation; it emphasizes spotting animals from a distance and then stalking closer for a shot. Thus, elevated stands uniquely combine concealment with a strategic height advantage over the quarry.
