Default RE: Ground Blind?????

Yes and no, you can get deer from ground blinds, but you're at greater risk of getting busted by being at eye level. You generally have to set out a pop-up type blind in advance to give the deer time to get used to seeing it, but this isn't always an option, especially when hunting public land. Try scouting the property you intend to hunt for natural features that are already there to shield you from the deer's eyes long enonugh to get your shot such as falen trees, rocky outcrops, etc. The deer are used to them being there, so will be less suspicious than they would be suddenly seeing a strange object appear out of nowhere. Most pop-ups don't lend themselves well to bows either.
