[*red-ranger*]

I do and have good results, in fact I only have 1 kill from a stand and 6 from the ground

Plan to for the first time on Sept 1, I will let you know if the big whitetail comes within range of my double bull!

I have taken 2 whitetails from natural ground blinds and 4 by spot and stalk. The odds of a successful stalk are low but it sure is fun! I prefer to hunt from a good treestand location if possible.

I love to ground hunt out of my Double Bull. Especially when it get really cold. Just make sure you blend it into your surroundings you will have a good time. It is someting different.

I've had excellent success from brushed in ground blinds. 3 Excellent bucks three years in a row. Very moveable and you can make adjustments on the fly if necessary.

Here's one brushed in down South Texas way. Shooting lane is dead center in this pic just to the left of the leaned over dark branch. Cut into brush behind where you want to setup and only cut out what you need. Brush the roof line, edges etc. and step back (rubber boots) and check your work. Make sure you trim brush and let it settle in and touch up where needed.

About 10 yards here and doesn't have a clue.

Cut on contact broadheads fly fine out of shoot through mesh.

I will be doing most of my mule deer hunting by spot and stalk and most of my whitetail hunting out of a treestand, but I will still hunt out of a ground blind a few times throughout the year.

Got this boy last year from my Matrix at only 18 yards. Talk about a rush!! I hunt 90-95% of the time from the ground.

Nice buck....18 yards....yep...I bet that was a rush!!!!!



AtTheWall.....great pic sequece. I can't see the blind in the pics...that's the point, I guess.



Do you guys use these for early season hunts, also? It's so hot down here, I don't know how it'd work in a blind.


Also, do you have sucess with same day set ups? I'll be hunting some WMA land and just can't be leaving a $400 blind in the woods.

I never leave my blind anywhere. I set up that morning everytime.I just brush in the top a little and I'm ready to rock!!
