I have done about 90 percent of my hunting out of ground blinds the past few years and I believe the most important factors for success - and I learned this through plenty of trial and error - is blind placement and blind windows.

Figure out the trails, studying every direction and route a deer may travel to ensure you don't set up right in their probable path. Instead, set your blind off to the side in the background, at least 20-25 yards from where you think they will be. And then brush it in to mesh with the surroundings.

As for the windows, have as few open as possible and have those opened as little as possible. Otherwise, you might as well be sitting outside your blind as the deer will see you. Have a friend walk around your blind from 50 yards out and closer when you do set it up the first time to see if they can spot you in there easily. Wearing all black inside can help camouflouge you better.

Finally, practice out of your blind. Shoot through the mesh and get a feel for it. Mesh will not affect fixed head flight but you need to get the feel for shooting out of a confined space like that as the mental game could be more of a factor if you don't.

Good luck!

P.S. I have hub style and pop-ups (ring blinds).I like both but prefer the hubs. Go to the pro shop and have them help you set a few up to draw your bow in before you bring it home.
