RE: bowhunters what do you think
IF you can leave the blind up & brushed in it is fine. Deer "USUALLY-not always" shy away from them if they haven't been up for awhile. I have an Ameristep & love it-have another I just ordered. NOT AS PRICY AS db. Does excellent job for me.
We cannot leave our blinds up in Public areas I Bowhunt.
I use either a ladder stand or Stick ladder & a hang on in my public areas.
Good Luck. Ground hunting is fine-took MANY a Deer b/4 they thought about climbing into a tree.
