Ground Blinds

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.

I've set up three of them on my place. I hunt in hills so vantage points are easier to come by. I also have a 10 yo pine thicket that's perfect for them.. They def have their advantages

Now there's a positive I can get behind and hadn't thought of.

Grew up hunting with my dad in chairs behind palmetto leaves, and hated it. When my kid gets a little older thats a much better option to hide a kid and protect from mosquitos.
