I hunted out of a ground blind last hunting season in Tennessee on our property about an acre of mostly hardwoods shot a doe,turkey,and an 8 point was amazed at how close the wildlife walked past that blind
Just save time and money and get a ghost blind that you can hunt out of the same day you set it up. No worry about extra camouflage because what ever is around you is your camouflage. It also makes it easier to hunt with wind direction.
GREAT VIDEO! Being a old hunter, I hunt elk, deer, turkey almost exclusively from ground blinds. I agree! The better your ground blind is brushed in, the better. However, I would to add a word about hunter orange safety on public land. I add a hunter orange cover to the top of my blind and brush in only the sides. Some states require the added orange to a blind. Frankly, I would not public land hunt from a ground blind without orange.
I built a box blind at the end of last season going to try to put it out this year really spend some time painting it to look like a tree line pretty cool
I got a buck 8 feet from me too last year with a ground blind, I was in a crappy fabric blind that I put up with 2” pvc hammered into the ground twisted to the poles with electrical wire, right in the middle of a cattail/bryer patch on the edge of a small wheat patch that I knew their trails were coming in on. I brushed it in with Spruce and evergreen stuck some tree limbs right into some of the PVC poles. I access right through the back door and they never know I’m there
Definitely good information, the better you blend it in the better! I personally would rather be in a tree stand, but have hunted in ground blinds with success. 👍
Would you recommend setting up a blind close to an existing tree stand? I only have 1 area to hunt but the tree stand is used for rifle season but is to far away to be used for bow.
Spot on with brushing a blind in. Breaking that roof outline up for sure is most important.. However, from my experience deer will get use to a brushed in blind in a week or so regardless of dead or live limbs. I’ve killed servaral bucks from a ground blind. Actually prefer it, much safe and more comfortable. You can’t beat a good ground blind on a cold windy Kansas morning.
Yes that’s for sure. And they definitely can get used to it quicker in some cases. Just depends on the area. Highly pressured it’s going to take more effort for them to get used to it. It’s definitely a cool experience being eye level with them! 👊
I use them more for a run and gun sort of thing. I think if you just set it up the deer are usually pretty curious about it. I set one up one day then had a 9 point come within 2 yards and look in the window i couldn't draw my bow but it was a awesome experience.
That is a awesome experience up close on the ground like that: it all depends honestly. Each area will be different but in a general sense they should be brushed in pretty good. 👊
Hope everyone is well! Watch more tips here!

That’s awesome to hear. It definitely a different experience hunting on the ground eye level!
A lot of hunters think they could just erect a camo ground blind and they are good to go..
Great info as alway Dave!!
Yes that’s true. In a very very small percentage of times it may work but just times not!
Thanks 🙏

I don’t want a ghost blind.
@@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors I just enjoy putting meat in the freezer at a cheap way of getting it done. To each their own.

Very cool. Just make sure to set that back in the timber a little if your going on a field edge and you can sneak up to the back side and get in. 👊

Perfect sounds like a nice set up

Thanks. I really do enjoy the ground blind but like you said I’d rather be in the stand.
I planted ornamental grass all around my ground blind
Very nice

Great to hear thanks.

Yeah I’ve done that before as long as the habitat matches and there’s no risk of spooking deer. I’d say go for it
I have a spot with a lot of little trees and high crp I was thinking about making a natural blind this year in that spot
Very nice
