RE: Ground Blinds
I have owned and used several brands of ground blinds, IMO I would prefer to hunt from a treestand but in those cases where I do use a ground blind they have worked very well.
My advice is to buy the best blind you can afford. It will save you money in the long run. The best Blind I've ever owned is the Double Bull Dark Horse. I've killed several Turkeys and one nice 4X4 Mule Deer out of it.
