Other........I try to set up with a natural ground blind of some sort, hedgerow,blowdown or what ever is handy. Have used wild grapevines also.

Ground blind with decoys in the spring; treestand in the fall (since I'm deer hunting at the same time).

Since I generally hunt with my gal, I voted for pop-up blinds because that is what we usually use.

As an aside, on the few occasions I do hunt alone I really enjoy using my ghillie suit. A little (actually a lot) harder to get drawn on a close bird, but fun none the less.

Generally use natural blinds, a carryover from duck hunting. Easier than packing in a commercial blind.

I hunt off a stool and try to sit in some cover or beside a big tree. Decoys don't work very often where I hunt, the birds hang up and won't come in.

on the ground no blind, no gillie- regular camo with a decoy, my bow and my camera  :)
