Hunting from a tree stand is the easiest and most productive way of Hunting Deer. It is very difficult from a blind. Trying to push a tract with other people is Dangerous especially if your a beginner. Dangerous by means of getting shot or shooting one of your buddies.

I suggest invest in a Climbing tree stand. Range from $150 to $350. You can take them anywhere. My cousin and I have our own climbers. We Mostly hunt public land so leaving a stand in the woods is not smart. We go together and hunt the same general area. Within a 1/4 mile of each other but we are never set up on the same field or view. We both want to get Deer.
Unless I was Hunting Private property where I knew Deer would be, I wouldn't use a blind.
