I've hunted from a climbing tree stand when bow hunting. have thrown a bunch of limbs and other stuff into a pile around trees and used as a blind.
Now that I have aged (67) know where the deer are and where they go when pressured I have box blinds and A couple portables I can use I use them and that is about all now days.

Here is where you can see what people have for blinds.
