I've used a ground blind, or sat on the ground behind cover my entire hunting life. (almost 10 years now) and I've been yards from deer. My first bow kill shot was taken at 7 yards. I LOVE hunting from a ground blind. I love being eye to eye, mono e mono with the deer. Not saying one is better than the other, but I've never crawled up in a tree to hunt. It makes sense for some properties. But I hunt mostly federal land/state land.

I started hunting from the ground when my boys were old enough to go with me, they’re great for taking kids. I even took my daughter turkey hunting last spring and she had never gone before. I’ve found as I’ve gotten older I get a little “snoozier” on stand than I used to. Definitely would rather fall asleep on the ground than in a tree.

I used to hunt exclusively from a tree stand. Now I hunt exclusively from the ground, but I don't even use a ground blind. Being a duck hunter, I've become very good at learning how to brush myself in. It's a lot easier to brush in my body than it is a large blind. I have deer in range every single time I go out. I even had a deer brush up against me once. The key is to be still! If you can sit still, you don't need to be elevated or in a ground blind. If you're constantly moving, then maybe you do need to climb a tree or sit in a tent.

Throughout the majority of my life, I did 90% of my deer hunting "stalking". I used a tree stand when bow hunting. But as the years began to catch up with me, I realized that I was no longer physically capable of walking like I once could. Especially when I moved from the terrain of SW Arkansas to the Mts. of NW Georgia. So, I finally went to the ground blind. Although I was extremely successful with hunting before, I found that I see much more game than I ever did before. However, I miss the "stalking" because I felt like it was more sporting and needed more skill than just sitting and waiting for game to show up. TO me, hunting is just that. Get on the ground and go hunt your game. Tree stands and blinds just don't fit my idea of "hunting". But meat is meat, and in these trying times, one must do what they have to do to keep food on the table.

Amen Brother! I began my hunting with pheasants & rabbits. Kickin' em up! I start early sitting, ground blinds great, pour a coffee, can't be seen, ambushing em is exciting, sure, the longer it takes em to come in the longer that magic moment! But, soon enough I'll take to stalking. On a crunchy dry day sure I'll tend to stay seated. But slow, slooooow still hunting thru spots I know they often hang...very often I can sneak up close enough...and if they bolt? Well, honestly, I'm a pretty damn good shot, and that spot right behind the shoulder I hit more often than not. Truth. Can recall some heart shots while they were running, so ... To me, covering ground, the stealth, the slow pull up to off hand, or the immediate concentration if they take off....bear down on that shot, that's a bit more exciting than ambushing em & does present more of a challenge & most often, almost always, my shot is lethal. Like you I'm older & sitting is becoming more comfortable. : ) But I love that stalk when I can!

@@charlessoukup1111 Slipping through the woods attempting to sneak up on a deer has never been something I could do very often. I am not that good at that type of stalking. I used a different approach. I prefer a sunshiny with a lot of wind. That way, everything in the woods is moving, and unless the deer is directly downwind, they wound scent you as readily. And that sun makes their coat and horns shine. I don't worry about making noise because I know, I am going to no matter how hard I try not to. I depend on my eyesight and when a deer takes off, I immediately get nest to a tree to prop up on and watch. I will not take a running shot, no matter what. A deer cannot see DIRECTLY behind them. Thus, they will usually circle right or left and often stop to look back to see what you are doing. By keeping my scope on the deer, that is what I wait for. I may jump 10-15 deer and only get a shot at one, but that is all I want. And it paid off many years before I reached the point my knees and back just don't want to cooperate any more.

I just got my first deer ever today while “stalking”. I was actually walking up to lie down at the base of a tree I scouted yesterday when I came right up on two does about 20 yards away (I’m not great with ranges, but I know they were damn close; definitely could’ve hit ‘em with a rock). I dropped to prone position and watched one stare at me for about 5 minutes, occasionally running back about 5-10 yards to a thin tree line then walking back up to investigate me. There was a slight gradient running perpendicular to my line of sight which probably helped obscure my body. Once she finally gave me the broad side I got her right through the lungs with a 62gr out of a 20” AR-15. I had my left fist on the ground in front of me with my rifle magazine monopod-ed on top of my fist. Some people say 5.56 won’t cut it for whitetail, but at that range it’s as effective as anything could be. I have to thank the Lord’s providence for that one. I just found out about these see-through blinds and they just seem so damn cool, so I’m going to try that next year.

So today I went with a buddy of mine to hunt for the first time on my farm. We haven’t moved in yet so not much movement there. Anyways we have no experience hunting. We did do some research & got into 2 positions where we could each have a certain spot to see deer. We didn’t use a blind but we did sit on chairs outside at ground level. First we tried a call & idk if we did something right but we had a buck come out of nowhere behind us & walk in front of us. My buddy was in my range. (He was at a spot where he could look downfield, behind him my land ended & was someone else) eventually the buck made his way over in front of him & none of us knew what to do he was going to shoot but there was construction going on in the background & it spooked him. Later probably an hour after I had another buck walk in through the tree line next to me. I aimed at him & I pulled the trigger & at that moment I remembered that I never put a round in the chamber. Point is I never thought hunting would be so much fun. It’s such a high you get I never understood it.

If you are hunting with a rifle, you can hunt whitetail from the ground no problem. If you are hunting a bow. Get on a stand. It is possible to hunt from the ground with a bow of course, specially if you have a blind, but your chances are way smaller. With a rifle, don't even worry, get up on a stand if you scouted, and know the area is hot. But you don't have to.

Honestly, every type of blind hunting has its place. I think the important takeaway is pick one or two ways of blind hunting for different situations and become REALLY GOOD at using them. My favorite quick hide is using camo netting with 4 tree limbs leaned up against a tree. After brushing in the outside of the blind, your good to go. A good poncho worn over the hunter protects well against the wind and rain.

I live on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts and this coming Monday will mark the begginging of my fourth season as a hunter. Our public land consists mainly of dense swaths of scrub oak, which simply does not accommodate tree stands. There are some wooded areas which boast some gnarly pitch pines which, with TLC, can make for some excellent stands, but every year when I head out to scout a location for a stand I simply cannot find anywhere that hasn't already been claimed. Perhaps with more time and more seasons under my belt I'll be able to stake my territory, but for now I'm forced to hunt from the ground in some kinda remote areas. That being said, in my three years already as a deer hunter I have seen maybe close to 75 or 80 whitetails from my ground blinds, maybe two dozen within bow-range and have killed four deer (three does with my bow and one nice 7 point buck with my 12 gauge). My mentor invited me to hunt a tree-stand on some private property during my first season; unfortunately I didn't see any deer that day but the view and the bird-watching was stunning. I'll echoe some of the comments here that being eye-to-eye with a large wild animal like that is totally exhilarating... easily the most intense natural high out there. Good luck to everyone this season.

Ground blinds have a specific use. For instance, here in southern Arizona, we typically use them the last week or two of January over water during the archery season when bucks are rutting. It’s a great method then, but not so much during other seasons.

All that I used to hunt was out of tree stands until I got sick of getting busted by deer at the end of the night crawling out of the stand. Both bucks that I shot this year were from the ground. If you set your spot up right, you should be able to get in and out of your ground blind without any of the deer in the field knowing you entered or exited. Probably more than 90% of my night hunts this year, there were deer in the field who never knew that I left. About 10-15% of my hunts this year, I entered the blind with deer in the field already that had no idea that I entered. To me it's not so much about hunting from the ground or an elevated position for my shooting benefit as is it is risking getting busted by deer. When they blow at you, you just educated them and either made them more fearful of that area, made them move out of the area, or made them know exactly where to look for predators when they enter your point of vision. Not letting deer know that you're in the area is one of the hardest tasks you can pull off. If you can do it, you can hunt that spot effectively multiple times in a season.

This hunting season was the first time I sat in a Hunting shack. A friend invited me to sit in his with him and watch his field. He built a little wood stove for it and when hunting In freezing temps with wind this was awesome. It almost felt like cheating when I shot a deer from it. Up till then I had taken all my deer by sitting in the open. No stands no blinds. I took 2 more after that by being in the open. By open I mean no cover at all. I was standing on a field road or lying in an open hay field, leaning against a fence post or tree. The biggest thing is sitting still. My son experienced what happens when you sit still. A doe walked up within 20 feet of me and her 2 fawns almost stepped on my son because they couldn’t see movement. The doe could smell us and knew something was wrong but just couldn’t see it so they walked off unalarmed. This has happened to me a few times. We walk in an hour before shooting time and plant ourselves and sit still. At 11:00 am if we haven’t had any luck on their morning movements we move to their evening paths and reset. We have always come home with meat. Now every situation is different and a highly pressured area is harder so you do what you have to do but the satisfaction of stalking and killing is far greater than baiting or shooting over a food plot.

Been hunting for 15 years 100+ sits every year. Started out on the ground and was told “good luck, it’s going to be a long time before you kill your first deer.” Tagged my first deer 3-4 weeks later, and been doing it consistently off the ground every year since. Not in a pop up but, a man made brush pile. Pop ups have their place but I like being out in the open a little bit pop ups are for Bad weather. Tree stands and ground blinds both have advantages, but hunting off the ground is way more challenging and more rewarding. Nothing gets my heart pounding like a deer just a few yards away and they dont know you’re there.

I've had great success with ground blinds and even just walking and sitting down in brush, tall grass, or against a tree. Playing the wind is a huge part of it. Sometimes...deer that catch your scent are so curious that they walk up to you. Especially when they can't get your visual to match the scent. Rub fresh dirt on you or even some deer scat on clothing and boots.

Just this weekend my two boys (12& 13) and I sat on penn. public land on the ground no blind. The best spot (2 bucks) was even with in 400 yards of 2 pull offs with 6 total trucks. Over the course of a 1 1/2 days at 3 different locations we had multiple deer walk past us all less then 50 yards, 7 at under 20yards in 2 spots. This is wearing orange hats and vest, no camo just reg street clothes. 4 simple rules: sit down/cross wind of expected travel, sit low against a tree or rock, have screening cover of some kind in front, never use the same spot every year. In fact I never sit within 100 yards of the same spot for 2 years. It’s always the same deer and movement and terrain. We just never allow them to pattern us. Instead of making 1 tree or rock “The scary one” we make them all possibly scary so none of them really are. When it’s obvious to others were we were successful for the next couple years the easy access spots get over run. Tree stands go up and the deer just move over 200 yards and avoid that spot, sometimes for years if fawns learn to avoid the spot from a careful doe. A one day sit per year and shooting a deer with a rifle doesn’t mess up the spot a week later as much as a tree stand used twice in one year, with no shots messes up a spot for the next year.

My ground hunt is a folding chair. Set up next to brush or a tree. Last year deer was 30 feet away. Sitting in folding chair and next to rock out crop. Movement is the most important thing. Plus, put clothes that plan to hunt with in brush you plan to hunt. Then, just plain shower two days before. No body sent covers. No matter how much your comoflage, movement is the enemy. I hunt in blue jeans and a simple jacket.

I almost always use natural ground blinds. A pile of logs, a blowdown , boulders. It really hides a lot of your movements. My pet peeve is hunters that set up portable ground blinds on public land and have no orange on them. A few years ago a hunter was killed near here in an accident.. It started to rain and the guy that was shot had put up a grey tarp that looked just like the wet boulders around him. A group of deer came through and somebody took a couple shots and hit him. If I am sitting in a leafy blowdown, I make sure I have something orange hanging up that is easily seen.

the only time I use my ground blind is for warmth in the very late season. otherwise, i'm walking the woods, and if I feel like sitting for a spell, I sit wherever is a good vantage spot. even late season, I still prefer walking through the snow. but there's those days that are just miserable, that I will have my blind set up. I will still walk as well, but use my blind as a warm-up and resting spot. when I really use it, is when the weather has warmed then got cold again, and the snow melted some then froze and got crunchy. those are the days when walking is almost a waste of time and I will just sit in the blind and hope a deer comes by.

One thing I disagree with is wearing black. I use a trackchair to get out to the woods, and I never wear black in my blind. Either camo or blaze orange. And most years I see deer and shoot one. The past 2 years have been deerless years for 2 reasons. The one year I was on public land and was basically sitting in a trackchair out in the open. And last year the landowner put me 50yds from his machine shed and was always working in there while I was hunting.

If the weather nice out, 30 degrees or warmer I actually like hunting on the ground better then I do in my 6 ft high fully insulated elevated blind. But my insulated blind keeps me warm, and I can have it 85 degrees in there on any below zero degree day. I only have it 6 ft tall just the fact that if the farmer does not have the corn down, at least will be able to see what will be going on the other sides of the fields.

For hunters safety, tree stands are best. If a hunter walks in and sets up a blind, and don't look around for another hunters stand, he could be shooting at another hunter, or being in another hunters line of fire. When shooting out of a tree stand, when you shoot, the bullet is going into the ground. Somebody is trying to sell portable ground blind.

Noticed the windows were wide open when filming the close encounter with the buck. Do you guys typically keep the shoot through mesh up when hunting unless your filming? I get that it can't be up for filming. I have the Big Mike blind and the size is great but zipper is loud and you have to close it otherwise you have a ton of extra light coming in. Thought of adding a black roll down material instead of zipping it. Anybody else come up with ideas?

Thanks for the laughs. I like your dry sense of humor, pretending like ground blinds are some new kind of invention. LOL Ground blinds existed long before tree stands were invented. SMH 🤦🏼‍♂️ It’s only in recent years that someone with poor skills dreamed up the tent style blinds because they couldn’t sit still in a brush blind. It’s also amusing how you pretend that everyone only wants to use tree stands. Where do you come up with these comical claims? Who’s your writer? Ron Burgandy? Anyhow, thanks for the humor. Enjoy your hunts.

Hunting from a typical tree blind is one of the most uncomfortable ways to spend your time. Set up a ground blind in a good location and you can get up for a stretch, relieve yourself and not risk falling to the ground. Most tree stands are just platforms with a ladder. Not very pleasant for a long hunt. Deer are used to the deception and travel their runways glancing up.

Like you stated for rifle season, I`m worried about being shot by a stray travelling bullet. I won`t be sitting in a tent like this video cuz all blinds have to be picked up daily, and from what I hear the structures should sit for a few days so deer become accustomed to its presence.
