I use a quad/ATV and travel the back trails and cutines looking for game
so I guess thats a drive by spot and shoot

Most of the hunting that I've done is off of roads. Drive in a truck till you spot something accessible.
I took my deer from a blind though. I think next year I'd like to get a good backpack and just stalk trails or find a natural blind like mentioned. If you ask me, its more like harvesting game rather than hunting if you just sit in the truck and listen to the radio till you find something. The upside is you can shoot a coyote and move to a different spot easily with the truck.

I guess my favourite, most used method may be "ambush" in a funnel where game travels or a water hole etc.
However I certainly do not limit myself to any one method. I think it is important to be flexible and creative.
Sometimes I'll sit in one spot a few hours in the morning then rattle and call for awhile. Then get up and "still-hunt" to another preselected location 1/2 to 1 mile away. Set up and sit there for awhile and do some more rattling.
Sit in my truck and have lunch in a location with a good view where I might see game moving. If I see something I can get a shot of make a stalk.
I mostly hunt alone but if with some others we do short drives in mid day to move game out of cover to waiting hunters.

I am surprised that one of the options wasn't driving around drinking coffee shooting out the window as that is what I am seeing more of all the time.
Personally, I like to still hunt or spot and stalk. You actually feel like you are hunting.

I've never made a poll, can you set them to do more than one choice?
Spot and stalk: sheep, goats, caribou and elk
Driven hunt: moose
Dogs: bear, wild boar and cougar
Treestand/groundblind: deer (and some waterfowl!)
Stillhunt: deer and moose
Road/atv hunt: deer and moose
I think you see the picture. Some guys have a "I hunt one animal, and this is how I hunt it" style and some of us match the technique to the critter (and situation). One of my goals as a hunter is to have done as many different types of hunts as possible.

I chose" Drive by spot an shoot",mainly for predators and varmint's ,I drive and spot,then try to find a tree or a fence post to shoot off of, 9 meteres from the edge of the road or a fenceline if one exist. Thats the majority of my kill's.but for turkey and deer I hike into a bush and look for an active trail to wait on or call.
I prefer "stillhunting" to all other methods.
I walk 5-15 steps, then stand still for 10 mins or more, watching and glassing area.
then repeat.
I also use blinds a bit, but for deer only.
I would be a liar to say I have never spotted an animal while driving, and taken advantage of that situation.

I use #'s 2, 3, and 5, as well as pushing with and without dogs.
I voted for stalking, as that's my preference. Maybe not the most effective, but something I've come to love when the conditions are right.
