Default RE: natural ground blinds?

I' m a big fan of natural blinds. I like making them ot of hedgerows. I prefer them to be 10 yards wide or so. I trim on path to the middle of the hedge then tie a bunch of branches together with zip ties and make my door with that to cover up the trail i cut going in. Once you' re in, cut away a little circle around you so you can park your behind(i bring a little folding chair). Make sure you have backdrop to break up your pattern. Then I' ll trim some peep holes and shooting lanes (don' t overdo it though.) Use good scent control and YES stay motionless as possible. You' ll be amazed at how close you can get them from the ground. Once you' ve made your blind, it' s there for good. I actually have 5 different natural blinds around the area I hunt. I hunt different ones depending on the wind and sun. I think they are excellent ambush spots if done right.
