RE: Hunting on the ground without a blind?
I used to bow hunt from the ground a good bit and have arrowed several deer that way. Just hiding behind a tree is difficult and I was usually busted like that. My favorite set up was to find a large log that that was lying up against a tree. If the tree and the log made a V, It was all good. Bigger the log, the better. I've shot 2 deer with that set up. Another easy way that I've killed a deer is to simply take about 7-8 dead limbs and criss cross them between to trees and get behind hit. I shot a small 8pt at 10 yds with that setup.
I plan to do alot more ground hunting this season. It's a rush like no other.
