set up on the edge, and be sure to be brushed in very well.
also get the blind out there as early as you can.

find a place where they are coming into the field ,set up downwind of the trail and leave blind there for a while and let them get use to seeing it and you should be good to go.

problem with leaving it is it is public land if i leave it someone will steal it.

What if you prepared a site for it. Such as go out someday and set your blind up. Then find all the limbs and stuff you can find and surround it. Sticking some limbs straight up and down and crossways. Then just have a pair of clippers and cut your shooting lanes. Then you can take your blind down and put it back up and it will already be hidden. Plus the deer will get use to the pile of limbs. Or make it so you don't need the blind. Just a couple thoughts.

dig in like a goose blind and give it a try sounds like fun

good idea
i do have some old plywood i thought about painting and maybe strapping some limbs and brush to make a ground blind that i would leave.
i am just wondering how the dnr would feel if i set some 2x4s in the ground to hold it up
