Pro's- you can position yourself anywhere the deer are without the need to find the right sized tree or the having to cut shooting lanes, etc. The ground blind works as a scent containment tool if minimal windows are kept open. I have never been as close to deer as I have been out of my ground blinds-talking a few feet without them knowing I am there. Great for taking kids who can't sit still, my youngest 2 take their gameboys and sit in the blind while I wait and watch for the deer, turkey, etc.

Con's- lack of visibility, must be put in place long before you are going to hunt out of it to allow the deer to get used to it. Mine are going out in 2 weeks. Placing a blind in any deer's territory is like someone throwing a duffel bag in the middle of your living room and expecting you not to see it. It will be the first thing they zone in on and will be on alert for the next couple times they come through that area- allow them to adjust to it just as they do downed tree's and such. Another con- they can be a sweat box depending on where you place it. You will be inside and inthe shade but it may be 120 degrees inside if placed out in the direct sun and no wind to cool you off. Biggest con- easiest to steal compared to treestands that can be locked fast.

Also DO NOT BUY AN "ALL ABOUT GAME" BLIND there are still a few of them out there that can be purchased. I have one that my wife bought me in Feb. I had it set up for one week during the Spring Gobbler season. Two fiberglass poles snapped and now the company has closed it's doors and I have no way of being reimbursed or receive service from them. They ripped off the wholesalers they sold through and shut their doors and disconnected their phones. Now I have to go through Primos and buy Double Bull rods and modify them.
