Default RE: Bowhunt from a ground blind?

I've got over 400 acres, and never turn anybody down except during gun season. Hell, they don't ask ...They just start hunting. That's about to change. Trash, poaching, not obeying simple rules and stolen stands have me at my wits end.
Unfortunately this is all to common[:'(]

I've hunted from the ground in the past and found it extremely difficult. I've only killed one deer from the ground with my bow and it was from a natural blind constructed by a blow down and a big oak behind me. I got busted on the draw but the little guy just stood there and stomped his foot at me. It wasn't a bad idea had I been rabid racoon, neadless to say I stuck both lungs and he piled up within 60 yards. It's tough but can be done. One other note, practice shooting sitting down as it is often impossible to stand without blowing your cover. The deer mentioned above was shot while I was sitting and I still got busted.
