RE: Hunting from the ground
I mostly hunt from the ground regardless of the weapon. I use natural landscapes & cover where ever possible. If you do have to use a blind or build one and think a deer may notice it, build it well in advance of season to let them become accustom to its presence. They notice change, I have sat behind old pieces of farm equipment and had deer right on top of me, but again they are use to this being their and see no alarm value.
