There’s something satisfying about sneaking through the woods, stand hunting feels like napping in comparison.

Have done both - a lot. Very much dependent on the terrain and conditions.
Spent most of my life hunting the Piedmont. Many areas of 'walkable woods' where you could move quietly, and using the wind, could often be offered a decent shot on a deer. Always enjoyed creek bottoms and hardwood ridges.
The last ~10 years I'm in far-ENC, a coastal county and hunting Weyerhaeuser land. Flat terrain, drainage canals, brush-choked, River Cane, every variety of briars known, many larger than your fingers, evergreen Wax Myrtle, Pine and Yaupon that never lose their leaves (NO Oaks)......- a whole different game. Many places on the lease I hunt, a Beagle could hardly get through it. Nope, there's no 'stalking' in that. Oh, and winds STAY 'light and variable', meaning it can shift 14 different directions in a day.
And I won't even get into blood trailing anything there. It can get ugly.
