Default RE: Bowhunt from a ground blind?

I hunt almost exclusively from the ground, to me there is no thrill like being eye level with a deer!

As already stated WIND is crucial when on the ground, when it comes to a blind there are 3 very important things to keep in mind:

1. Make sure that what ever you use in front of you will break up your outline, yet allow you to either shoot over it or through it (between actually)

2. Make sure that you situate your blind to where you will not be silohuetted (sp) from behind.

3. Make sure that you can draw your bow completely and silently in any direction that a deer may come (Got busted by a monsterous buck a few years back because he came in the wrong way!)

Did I mention the WIND!!!!!!
