I hunt from a DogHouse Pop Up Blind. You take it out of the case, and it sets itself up. Just put the right window in the direction you want to hunt, and the door in the back, stake down the bottom and your set to go. Mine is a one man blind.

Advantages, they are safer then tree stands. If you've ever fell out of one, you can not argue that point. But if your hunting dangerous game like bear, you don't want to be close to where you expect the animal to be. Nothing is more adrenaline pumping then sitting in a cloth blind and having a sow bear ten feet away. So move away from where the game will be. The shot might be longer, but sometimes that too is an advantage because of noise cancellation.

They are easy to move, once you learn how to fold them. I have a friend that claims he can fold his blind in under five minutes, and he brings his out, every night. When you set up, try to have something like a dead fall or brush to break up the silhouette of the blind when looking at it.

They are comfortable. I have a ice fishing bucket with a padded seat that I sit on inside the blind. The inside of my blind is black in color. And if you wear darker clothing, you can almost disappear in them. I've had friends specifically look for me sitting in the blind, with a face camo mask on, and dark camo clothing. All they could see was the orange safety vest. Well a deer will not see that.

They keep the rain and snow off you. Now to me that is a real advantage. Although, the inside of my blind, due to your breathing and body warmth, can get damp in there. I've even formed frost on the inside walls. Some people out space heaters in them. I have never done that.

I also feel they make a statement to other hunters. If they see a blind they think.. wonder if we should go over there, someone is sitting there watching us. I was a tree monkey for many years, fell out of a few, and hung a safety rope twice. But the more I use a ground blind the more I stay out of the trees.
