I used a ground blind a few times but haven't been succesful yet in harvesting a deer. I'm gonna try hard this year though. My grandpa is replacing a old old fence and he's taking out all of my good trees!! So I'm gonna get me a double bull and try it. I would really recommend getting a nice comfortable chair to sit in. Especially if your planning to sit long hours. A few snacks and drinks are nice too. It really helps to add twigs, leaves, grass, corn stalks, etc. on and around your blind to blend in better with your background. Always keep your backside as dark as possible so keep the blinds in back down
