I absolutely love to hunt ground blinds. I have a dozen of them around my land. I don't have a tent or anything like that. I make my own natural ground blinds out of hedgerows, field edges, swail etc..........

I think your chances are much better from a tree obviously getting yourself above the ground for smell and sight. There is nothing like the rush of being on the same level as a deer though. You're going to get busted sometimes there's nothing you can do about that. I assure you though there is no better rush than having a deer 15 yards from you on the same plain as it and he/she not detecting you are there. To me it's more of a challenge and something totally different than being 20 feet in a tree.
