It all depends on the situation. There are places where there isnt a good tree for a stand or the wind swirls too much that are perfect for a ground blind. What alot of people dont relize is that in a good ground blind you can actualy get away with a marginal wind much more because the blind holds your scent in. Ive had more deer come down wind of me in a blind without spooking than I ever have had from a stand.

Treestand for whitetails; blinds for turkeys. Blinds when it is real cold out.

Tree stands for whitetails and bear hunting In Minnesota.

Spot and stalk for anything out west.

PREFER MY DOUBLE BULL BUT TREE STAND IS BETTER IN MANY SPOTS AND SITUATIONS. FOR SMALL AMOUNT I HUNT WHERE I USED EITHER IT IS MORE OFTEN I USE A TREE STAND. BLINDS ARE WARMER AND MORE COMFORTABLE.

Tree stand the majority of the time. I do have a ground blind set up for when I take my 12 y/o son or when the weather is lousy.

I love my double bull for hunting turkeys but, for bowhunting deer theyhave theright name blind. I like to see deer coming to get ready for the shot. Up in a tree you can see them coming. A deer some timesget by you to fast to get a shot on the ground. Turkey you can hear them coming most of the time and you can get ready in a blind
