I used a ground blind all last year and found that sometimes the deer sense that something is different especially if it has not been up long and sometime they don't notice. This year I have been hunting out of stands both hang on and climbers. There is no doubt that the stands are more dangerous but getting up above their normal line of sight and sent is definitely an advantage. If you go with the stand make sure you practice going up and down, continuously check your equipment and always use a harness

I have the ameristep dog house blind, no need to brush it in, has a great Realtree Ap pattern to it, a buddy of mine has the Redhead blinds, Great Realtree apg Pattern. They both work great and once its set up, blends right in, I tend to set mine up next tp a tree, but thats your call, Im here in florida so its not like out wma are wide open any how..

Some say blinds, some say tree stand, its what you think suits your hunting style..

i'm gonna buy that vision blind, just seems to be the best option for me as far as the heights thing, the mobility, and the added bonus of keeping the rain off.

i would look at the ghost blind before you buy anything

From expierence and tv the bigger mature bucks get very skidish of blinds but if it waas up to me i would have to say put up tree stands

Natural ground blinds are easy money on whitetails, especially when you can't get up a tree. Not so sure about commercial blinds, but I've even had hunters walk right by me without noticing my natural blinds. You could set some posts or use trees to tie up camo burlap, and prop some brush on em pretty easy for a quick one, or go completely natural. I don't do it in the wide open. Slightly inside the 'woods' with a good shooting lane next to a trail. I like to make a single wall, with a limb across a couple trees to prop brush against. It's free and works well. JMO
