The terrain I hunt doesn't allow me to hunt from tree stands all the time as we have alot of brush and small trees. I bought a DB a few years ago just for the brush hunting that I do. If brushed in well it is awesome, and if you have the ability to set it up and leave it it works that much better. I have used this blind while on day hunts that are only 3-5 days long and have had success taking a few exotics and a few whitetails and a ton of hogsout of it, there again they need to be brushed in well.I will always have this stand in my arsenol of equipment, it is a very useful tool. I still hunt tripods and treestands where available.
