RE: ground hunting
I like to hunt on the ground but I got sick of carrying my blind around with me, plus I felt like the deer noticed it too much sometimes, so I decided I' d start WEARING my blind. I invested in a good set of leafy camo with covers for my head and hands and I have never been happier. If you sit still, work the wind and dont make any sudden moves, deer will practically step on you without seeing you. Easy and convenient, too.
Good luck,
