RE: tree stand vs. ground blind
I'd definately agree that a treestand is the best to hunt from ,simply because you have a much better line of view ,and you can hear much better being up in the air . Just my opinion and preference .I know guy's who have had lot's of success from a ground blind ,I think you have to have the right place and situation in order to be real effective .
I also think being in a tree is much better for scent control,maybe not alway's ,but in most case's .
