Preparing for next season and trying to find some end of the season deals looking at making some purchases soon. On the IST/IBT I saw that a few people like hunting out of a ground blind, but I personally hate hunting from the ground.

What am I missing and why do y'all prefer it or is it just a necessity for the area you are hunting?

You can pack them, good for public land. You're concealed, you can move around. Great place to get out of the rain. Some places aren't great to put ladder stands or climbers, you can have thick canopys, no trees big enough or close enough to where you want to hunt... plenty of uses.

Def takes some getting used to. Hunting public land where its thick as hell is prime areas I use them. Easy to pack in and out. If you conceal them good, its actually not bad. I will always prefer being in a tree but some areas this is the next best option.

Easy to move, mosquitos can't get you, and movement is much more forgiving when animals can't see you in the blind.

I have 2 ground blinds,this year I purchased the Ameristep "The Crush" Blind. That was the one I hunted mostly out of this year. Really roomy, like the other poster said I had deer so close to me I could her them chewing the acorns and corn that was around the blind.

I cut some palmettos, took some blown down branches and piled them up around it and put some stuff on top.

Next year, instread of camo I will be wearing all black to make sure I blend into the backdrop.
