I'm partial to the bow hunting from a stand. But I did sit in a homemade ground blind a couple times this year and I must say it was quite an experience. I had a young 6 ptr. 7 feet in front of me. Could have got him but I decided to let him grow. Also had some does in close. I think I'm gonna start doing some more ground hunting. I like the challenge and the intensity of having a deer at eye lever just yards away!
