tree stand vs. ground blind
 

if you had a choice would you rather harvest a deer from a tree stand or a ground blind. Why???

RE: tree stand vs. ground blind
 

From the ground .
Safer , more places to hide , and there's nothing like staring a deer in the eye right before you drop it . Tree stands have their place , but anybody who says deer don't look up is only kidding themselves .

I say a tree stand. I just love being up there watching with my birds eye view.

RE: tree stand vs. ground blind
 

Ground blind. More versatile, you can get away with more movement on the ground than in a tree as well. Not to mention SAFETY!!!!!!

Doesn't matter to me !
I just want to take a deer fairly with my bow.

Treestand every time. The view from above is much better... seriously. You can just see so much more of the woods.

RE: tree stand vs. ground blind
 

You could see more of the woods with the treestand, but I think being up close and on the deers level gives an added thrill. It seems trickier because the deer's eyes are on your level and so is his nose. Either way I'm happy to have venison in the freezer!

Treestands offer better cover, shot oportunities, and ease of set-up. If you want a ground blind to work, you better have the thing set-up well in-advance of the hunt!

For thick cover I bought a Lone Wolf Hang On. Last year I hunted behind a piece of camo cloth that I set behind a couple trees. It worked O.K. but I like the option now of being able to hunt from ground and tree. Overall I'd pick the treestand simply because you can see a lot farther.

RE: tree stand vs. ground blind
 

I like being in the tree becase that vantage point is awesome and I really like being able to see the area from that height, just so different from the day to day view on the ground. There are definitely applications for the ground hunting, but I will try to get a tree whenever possible.

It matters not to me. Whichever is the best choice for the location.

RE: tree stand vs. ground blind
 

I'd definately agree that a treestand is the best to hunt from ,simply because you have a much better line of view ,and you can hear much better being up in the air . Just my opinion and preference .I know guy's who have had lot's of success from a ground blind ,I think you have to have the right place and situation in order to be real effective .
I also think being in a tree is much better for scent control,maybe not alway's ,but in most case's .

Tree stand for where I hunt. Nothing like the view from above. Hunting from the ground is for the birds lol.

RE: tree stand vs. ground blind
 

if you told me that i cant hunt from a tree stand any more i don't think i could do it. you get to see more deer ,you have more time to get ready for the shot,i get away with all kinds of movement .and if you get caut by a deer in that spot you can just move to another tree down the trail , when the deer comes back to that spot were it has seen you itwill look for you in that tree and you can get hima fue yards a way from a nother tree

I used a blind last year, shot a doe out of it but she was really kept starring at the blind which was set up a good two weeks before season.
Sold the blind but thinking about getting another one one that dont shine.

i like to be up in the stand. like everyone says i like the view better
