Thanks. Trying to think outside the box with this big buck. Just waiting on the right wind and weather to get in there.

The ground game can be helpful. More of us should include it in our game plan.

I just set up another ground blind today in a thick area with no good trees. I found a whole bunch of dead ashes piled up on one another and just added a few more sticks.

Any issues with rain water pooling??

[@whitetailsdeerhunting7159]

@@benbearkiller This is up on a slight slope so after a heavy rain there is some water in it but it seems to drain well. I don’t think I would put it in a depression or swamp. But who knows. If I’m after a mature buck I’m going to go where he is, tree or no or the ground. Swamp or dry. Plus, I always wear my high muck boots when I sit in it.

“i wanna make it as natural as possible” *digs hole* pretty sure you aren’t supposed to dig holes on public land

I looked everywhere on NYS regulations because I was concerned about that but found nothing that said you couldn't do that.
