RE: In a blind on the ground... what kinda blind?
I understand the great effectiveness of store-bought blinds. I really do. I once read G. Fred Asbell's book on Stalking and Stillhunting The Ground Hunter's Bible. He showed some great natural ground blinds that he made, and basically showed how you can make a ground blind anywhere you go. It's really a great book and I'd recommend it to any bowhunter. I don't think you can beat a natural ground blind. The best way to really do it, is to get out there and experiment with it a little bit. Try building some this summer, and see how they work, how they look, etc. I had to build a natural ground blind last year because I broke my leg and it worked wonders for me. I had deer walking by at 2 yards. Didn't have a clue I was there. Of course you have to consider wind as well, don't ever forget about the wind!
