I was strictly a ground pounder in the northern climes. But in the South, I got scented too many times on warm humid days.

Planning to get a blind for multiple use, for summer photo shoots and using it during hunting season along with the tree stand. Will work good on cool rainy days late in the season, or just plain cool days. The bones are not getting any younger.

Avoid a tree stand in the south, and learn the hard way. Leaves still on the trees during gun season.
