I hunt 100% on the ground for deer using natural (stick, logs, etc), homemade (box blinds, stake and camo wrapped, etc) and prefab pop up blinds. All have been effective. Placement ofthe blind is critical, avoiding unnatural locations. One reason why I don't usea particular style of ground blind.

The only blinds I leave out year round are all natural and a couple wood box blinds that stay put as well.
