I enjoy hunting on the ground. I haven't taken anything from the ground, but I've seen plenty of game up close, and had opportunities. I try to find a think tangle, or a blowdown for a back drop to break up my outline. I also have a large piece of camo die cut material that I will stretch across in front of me. Works well. Yesterday I was bear hunting using this set up and had three does come in to between ten and fifteen yards. I watched them feed for about twenty minutes before they moved off. Unfortunately it wasn't deer season.
