I killed a doe this past weekend while on the ground with no blind. The biggest advantages I had were, 1, wind in my face, and 2, I was under a pretty thick canopy of oaks while the doe I shot was in full sunlight. Before I took the shot she walked by me about 10' away. I didn't draw until she was quartering away and had her head down feeding. I was sitting between two oaks, she never knew I was there. double lung shot from 5 yds. She is small and she is tasty.
