Most importantly for me is finding a place I can set the thing that is fairly level. Also for me, comfort is paramount. I took a turkey with one this past spring using a bow (ground tent) and several deer with a rifle this season past. First thing I learned using the bow was that I definately need a bigger blind.

As far as concealment goes, I try to use what is already in place. I have found that its more important to have plenty of cover BEHIND you so that you don't get skylined or sillohetted. While the camo works just slick to our eyes, nothing stands out more than a big ass leaf and stick covered BOX to a deer. I try and set up in front of a blow down or tangle.

Also, I have found that being able to see game coming helps a whole heck of a lot. Espeically when it comes to bow hunting. Those mesh windows are worthless for everything except this. If I know there is a direction I cannot shoot, I will put the mesh up so I can see that way, just incase, but I will always leave the mesh down where I plan to shoot.

One other thing, having the windows up behind you so your own silloutte isn't visable inside the blind is vital too. Other than that, bring a book, a jug of sweet tea and a comfortable chair and wait 'em out!
