RE: treestand verses ground blind
I hunt pine plantations and mixed hardwod swamp here in Florida. Although I've hunted almost exclusively from treestands, I bought an Ameristep outhouse blind last year. I used it a few times but never felt real confident in it. It is well camo'd but the window openings stand out. The inside is black, (supposed to hide your shadow), but it makes the window openings stick out. I'm going to use it for turkey and we'll see what happens. I believe they have there place but i'm not totally sold on it.
