blind or stand
 

i was wondering what more people prefered a blind or a tree stand.
thanks, mike

I like to get up in a tree. My woods are so thick I cannot see very well on the ground. Plus even tho I am careful with scent control it gets my scent up off of the ground and above the deer. I mostly use climbers to stay mobile and not over hunt one area tho.

RE: blind or stand
 

not real thick woods here, but I prefer the ground 99% of the time. Safety is one major reason.

I like the diversity of both treestand and ground blind , I feel that both offer alot of options.

RE: blind or stand
 

both are great,depends on the land for a set up.

Never hunted from a blind and have hunted on the ground with no success. Tree fo' me

RE: blind or stand
 

I definitley enjoy the face to face of being on the ground the most, I love a treestand too...

RE: blind or stand
 

I perfer the tree stand. I feel I have a little more visability and can get set up while the deer is still approaching. I feel the ground blind has some blind spots and it is a bit darker in the rain I would be more opt to use the blind.

RE: blind or stand
 

I'll take the stand everytime. I'll leave the ground blinds for turkey hunting.

Treestand

i like hunting on in a blind. your at eye level you vs. the beast! who will win?

RE: blind or stand
 

Most depends on terrain. Its hard to put a blind on an incline. Also one area I hunt there are no trees big enoungh to put a stand in were deer come into feild.

Pros and Cons to both. It really does depend on the terrain and what kind of woods you're hunting.

Thick East Texas and South Texas, get off the ground you can cover more shooting lanes.

Central and West Texas, where its a little more open between thickets, and the Tree tops of the thickets are too thick to shoot through, I think a well made natural cover ground blind works wonders.

But you gotta do you're homework either way!

RE: blind or stand
 

I think a tree stand works way better.

RE: blind or stand
 

I agree with and like a lot of what others have already said. I usually hunt from a stand, but do use a blind as well. It depends on what area and cover that I hunt, regarding what I will use.

RE: blind or stand
 

I am a treestand man myself. I like treestands but i do sit on the grounds sometimes.

RE: blind or stand
 

i would rather be in a tree, but there are times and situations where the trees aren't really climable (South Texas) or a spot that is in a cutover where there aren't any trees but deer are coming through. That's why I made the decision this year to buy a ground blind in addition to my climber.

RE: blind or stand
 

all depends on the situation each has its time and place thats for sure..
