Thats funny you mention this...let me tell you a quick story.

I taught my cousin to shoot instinctive about 5 yrs ago with the recurve and our own home crafted cedar arrows. No sights.

3 yrs into bowhunting he decides he would like to try hunting from ground blinds vs. treestands for several reasons. Dr. Ken Nordberg - author for Bowhunting World magazine and wrote several books as well on scouting, etc. was one reason why he opted to ground blind hunt.

Anyway - he shoots a beautiful 8-10 point buck less than 15 yds from a ground blind he improvised of just layering dead-fallen trees. The deer never knew he was there as his 125-gr Magnus BH zipped thru the boiler room. Deer was dead in less than 25 yds.

Sicne then I/we have enjoyed ground blind hunting via what Nordberg called 'Mobile Stand Hunting.'

Whitetails (in Ken's opinion) have smartened up to treestand-toting hunters in the last 30 yrs. Employing a ground blind makes 'moving' to another area because of wind changes daily or other factors requiring a move (not seeing deer where you should, der out of gun/bow range, deer winding you, etc).

We use some polyester or burlap camo netting that comes in like 4 ft tall x what-ever length you want. We tie some parachute cord to the 4 corners of the netting and use it to see up an instant 'blind.' I also use a camo bucket I purchased (5 gallon sheetrock 'mud' bucket) that has a soft ball-bearing seat on it that rotates 360 degs). I tuck my lunch, camo netting, and any other stuff I need in it for the outing. It takes me just a few minutes to set up the netting in-between 2 trees and set up my ground blind. Cost me maybe $20 for the netting. Its works so well that the deer never see me as I slowly stand up just high enough to shoot over the top of the netting. I do stay downwind always when employing this rig.

Its works SO well its unreal! Takes me only 5 mins to take it down when I'm finished and I don't have to worry about falling/climbing in the dark, treestand theft, steps, expense, nor locks.

Its exactly what G. Fred Asbell wrote about in one of his books as well...
