RE: ground hunting
I do some ground hunting. I like to use things that are already there like a group of trees, a big stump. I like to prop up a stick and hang some pine branches off of it. I like to have something above my head. it seems to work a lot better then having your head sticking up the highest point. 2 pine trees close together make a good blind. Make sure you clear away all the leaves and branches off the ground so you can move without making noise. As for visiblity, you have to get the deer close anyway so just stay prepared. I like to hang my bow if poss. for quick access. A light weight 3 legged chair is a real plus. I like to have trees out in front of me so if a deer comes I can draw while his head is behind a tree.
