Default RE: Natural ground blinds

It's more important to have good cover behind you than in front of you. I know that goes against what feels natural but it's true. If you've got good background cover you can leave the area in front open and you can swing your bow to whichever direction it needs to be. If you can'tbring yourself to be completely open just use a turkey hunting screen that stakes into the ground 2' high. Use a dove hunting seat or some other portable seat. Don't build a log cabin. The less intrusive the blind is the more likely you are to be successful. I've just clipped limbs off of trees and lightly brushed in behind myself and have had deer at 10'. Find a big tree or blowdown. Just remember, if it works for turkey, who have better eyes than deer, it will work for deer. Watch the wind.
