After 30 years of " the blind will just slow me down " I hunted out of one when my daughter started hunting. We had deer walking by the we could literally reach out and touch. Since then, I use a ground blind when I know where I'll be sitting and don't plan on moving. It's nice to be able to sit in a comfy chair and to scratch all the parts that need scratchin.

As I get older, the comfort factor starts to be a bigger deal. No doubt, these blind adds to my comfort and time in the field.
