I've had just as good, if not better luck from the ground. If I am on the ground it is spot an stalk. We did get a Double Bull blind this spring for turkey hunting that is going to get used deer hunting. I'll be sure to let everyone know how it works!

I know god has put on this earth for those who can shoot deer from the ground and those who can't. I can't shoot deer from the ground with my bow! Not that I will never be able to learn but that I have a lot of learning to do. I don't have the time. I'm lucky with what I got. Later in life when I can't get that death from above pearch, I will drop them from below like my friends father does year after year.

I hunt mostly from a tree stand while bow hunting.
I did buy two pop up blinds this year and am going to give them a try.
I put them out 2 weeks ago(hope they didn't blow away in the storm we had?)
I brushed them in pretty good and tied them to the ground and trees.
One of them has the shoot thru windows. Anyone know how well these work?
We will also be trying the ground blinds during early ML season.
My hunting partner and I have 13 tree stands up. He is going to be 70 this year so I'm thinking the ground blinds will be easier for him to get into and safer for him. I hope they work?
Two weeks til season starts! I can't wait!
