RE: disadvantages/advantages of groundblinds
I've gun hunted from pop-ups for years, they can be a valuable aid for ground hunting when used correctly. The DB brand is vastly overpriced IMO, for what one costs you can buy a selection of lower cost blinds to blend into a wider variety of terrains.Also consider using natural blinds such as logs, brush, etc. They're free and they work, and unlike pop-ups they're something the deer have already seen and aren't spooked by.
