RE: ground blinds
Every once in a while I'll find a spot that's just perfect for sitting on the ground. Yesterday I just settled into a very small blowdown on my turkey seat and leaning against a tree. I have a couple ditches that go thru the middle of a field that's always good for one or two exciting hunts a year. I just use some sticks or lims leaned in the brush to give me a little cover. Getting a constant wind direction and odor are the biggest problems. Seems like half the time I set up on the ground I'll sit there for 2 hours, it'll become the "witching hour" and the damn wind will do a 180 and ruin the set-up. It is fun to be a ground level with them once in a while. I spend so much time above them in a treestand the change of pace is fun.
