RE: ground blinds
I love hunting from the ground. I have taken most of my bucks from the ground. This year a 5x5 and 4x4 both from the ground. The only thing I shot out of my treestand this season was my cow elk. I use natural cover for the most part and set up my blinds during the summer. I did purchase a double bull blind last year, because I wanted to add more mobility to my setups. I like the double bull a lot, because it sets up in seconds and is water resistent. It rains quite a bit here. Its a little expensive, but I looked at many different blinds and even had the salesmen set em up for me, so I could critique them. The Double was by far the best built of any I tried out. I ended up forking out more money than I wanted, but felt like I will never have to buy another blind again.
