RE: Hunting on the ground without a blind?
I just did that very thing over teh past couple weekends. I hunt from the ground quite a bit. I have 3 man made ground blinds and a "tree" blind. I made one this year in the top of a blown down pine (cut branches to get a place to sit and cut a couple shooting lanes. I also just made a "stand" (2 - 2x8 for deck and a makeshift seat out of treated lumber) on a uprooted hemlock. I st directly behing the root wad and i'm about 3 foot up and i put branches in front of me to break my outline. I am excited to use both this year.
