Default Hear more on the ground

Last year I bought a wig wam ground blind. What seemed interesting to me is that I seemed to hear more things on the ground than in a treestand. I heard deer grunts and bleats on the ground and I never hear these sounds in a treestand. Let me know if you hear more in a stand or in a blind.

Cannot say I have heard more sounds on the ground than while in a tree-stand. However, when on the ground I am able to detect direction and distance of sound much better.

In my opinion, ground hunting requires more skill than tree stand hunting. i think that your senses are more activated because you must be so much more careful when ground hunting. To me there is nothing like hunting from the ground.

hunt on hunt hard eat well

I have had pretty good success hunting from the ground. Last year I had a 3 point about 10 feet away from me, to small to shoot. He was walking straight to me and somehow saw me. I think he was not sure of what he saw, so he trotted past me. About fifteen minutes later I heard a grunt and I peaked out of my blind window and there he was staring rite at me. He was about 10 feet away, BUSTED!!

I have not hunted out of a man made ground blind, just natural ground blinds.
I here more when in my tree stand because I always face into the wind and the
wind carry' s the sound to me, I' m in a tree stand 95% of the time.
