You should buy a nice comfortable climbing stand to start.I use a Summit Viper and it works really good for me.

While I use both, and both have their place. I definitely prefer to hunt out of a Tree Stand.

I use both for certain situations. Mostly tree stands but when there is not a tree (or not a good tree) I use make shift blinds or an ameristep.

RE: ground blind vs. treestand
Get a good climber (I assume eastern whitetails since you're from MD).
Summit, API, or Lone Wolf depending on budget.
Don't go up without your safety harness.
Where you from in MD?

RE: ground blind vs. treestand
I use both, but I prefer making my own ground blind out of natural surroundings, has been working for me for over forty years.

RE: ground blind vs. treestand
anytime you can get up in a tree, youre gonna have an advantage over a ground blind.. but you cant always get in a tree so a good blind is also effective
