In a tree as high as I can get and still have good visibility.

[8D] I have been hunting with a bow for longer than I should admit and have found that both have thier pros and cons. The first deer I ever killed was while stalking a cornfield, walked right up to within 20yds of two nice does, they were stunned that I was there. I have also had great opportunities squating in a ditch or hedgerow with a couple of sticks stuck in the ground with some burlap draped over them to break my outline. I also have 5 different loc-on treestands and one very nice climber. So it really DEPENDS where you hunt, why not try it all! Lee

I prefer hunting out of a tree stand rather than on the ground and if i do hunt on the ground i use natural cover not a blind.

For me it depends on where Im hunting. Some places I find it better for me to use a blind, and some places I find it easier to use a Treestand. But again, it all depends on where YOU hunt and what the conditions are!

There are seven tree stands and one ground blind on my property. I love the visibility of getting up above the ground cover. I have plans in the works for both more tree stands and more ground blinds. Hunting pressure and even snow cover change the trails that the deer use. I want to stay flexible enough to change with them.

I prefer treestands over blinds when bowhunting and don' t have a preference when rifle hunting.

Have been hunting out of a ground blind for three years

blind provides,plus my hunting partner would have trouble

Hey Jsager you can use my blind and see what it is really like to hunt on the ground. I use a wig wam blind with a nice chair with cup holders. Very Very relaxing.
