You're getting good advice.

There's an old adage that's helped harvest many deer: "Find a stump. Sit on it all day."

That said, I like a little concealment and a few logs and limbs thrown together work fine. The idea is to break up your shape. If you don't get to fidgeting and moving, you'll be ok. Camo helps with this, if you have some, but not all that necessary. You could get some at a place that sells army surplus, maybe the thrift store without breaking the bank.

Downed trees are great, and I've hunkered into cedar trees, grape vines, etc.

Here's a couple of ways to rig up a cheap blind: Gunny sacks/burlap or a bed sheet from the thrift store and dyed with some Rit Dye from the laundry section of the grocery store or wal-mart. Tie them between trees or throw them over some brush to conceal yourself. An army pup tent can be had for $20 or so and half can be set up as a kind of lean-to. heck, even some camo fabric from the sewing section of wal-mart could be had cheaply.

Stillhunting works well. It actually goes well with situations like yours. I've hunted land I where I didn't get to scout. So I simply stillhunted till I found a place with good trails and deer sign and then plopped into the nearest downed tree. I carry a fold up chair on my back to have a place to sit.
