I guess it all depends on the deer where you hunt, I have had good luck with store bought ground blinds but I have also had good luck with man made ground blinds. I use both depending on what the area I hunt offers, I will say that ground hunting is a good technique to use and it works. You might have to try a couple different set ups to see what works best, I have had the best luck with the man made brush blinds on our place, I guess the deer dont notice it as much as a brushed in store bought blind. Like I said I have both set up right now as we talk about the subject and both have worked but you will need to survey the area you want to put one and figure which will work out the best and some of it will take a little trial and error.....Good luck!!!!
