Default Archery whitetail

So I have decided this year that I'm going to dedicate my November hunting trip to just moose. As much as I love hunting the whitey rut, I am going to head out at the end of august for archery whitetail. Want a velvet buck this year I think to hang on the wall. Im going to leave the elk alone as I am a pretty optimistic person and if I ended up tagging an elk, whitetail and a moose would just be way too much. All this could change of course if for some reason didn't draw my moose tag (side note……anyone get their priorities updated on alberta RELM, cuz mine aren't and getting worried).

Here is where I'm looking for input. Its obviously not going to be the rut so calling is pretty much out. This leaves me with spot and stalk or tree stand. I don't know what to go with. I have never hunted from a tree stand and know this would require a lot of scouting to find high traffic areas. Spot and stalk, what I normally like to do would also prove to be difficult as deer aren't as dumb as they are in the rut.

So should I fork out the cash and buy a tree stand or stick with walking the ground?
