My boss just yesterday gave me permission to hunt on his land. However I am in Springfield Mo and all of my stuff is in St.Louis, out it the woods connected to trees. I have everything else here to to shooting and such and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to go about hunting without either a stand or a blind.....

Make a natural blind? Still hunt?

Small chair like a blind chair will work just fine. Sit against a tree to break up your outline. Use the wind in your favor..get a bowholder if you can though that sticks in the ground so your bow is on ready with an arrow nocked and your hands are free until you need to shoot.

I was thinking about going to BP here and buying one of those dove hunting buckets with the rotating seat. Putting that pu against a tree and hanging out. I think that would be a lot quieter than a chair.

They did kill deer before stands and blinds. I love hunting natural blinds and still hunting. It's the coolest thing there is being on their level. That being said, I do 95% of my hunting from a stand lol [8D]. Still pretty neat doing it from the ground though.

Well I havent gotten one from a stand or blind yet either....so it's not like it is affecting my odds much.

I took an 8 point last week in a ground blind i made that morning out of tumble weeds and brush laying around. I do it all the time. Especially when the wind doenst want to play right for my set up.

I have one of those little stools from cabelas that is for my blindthat I carry and sit in it whenI find a spot I like whenI hunt off the ground. They are cheap (20 bucks) and I keep it in my truck.

I've killed2 deer off the ground this year. Play the wind, break up your outline and sit still. I usually try to find a big oak and stay on the backside of it. Good luck.
