Ive decided to stay on the ground this year.
Too lazy and too many years out of the stand to go back up!.
Im trying to decide to go with a pop up ground blind brushed in OR just a circle of brush with the background higher.
Anyway please show your set ups!

Here's one on my property so it stays up all year. It's made up of stakes and rails pounded into the ground and attached to the tree and I use pine boughs to brush it. I put the higher boughs in the rear.

 

You can see my Double Bull in the background. It looks like the roof is caved in from rain (Primos fixed that for me).

It is just inside the shadow to the left of the wallow. It's where you can barley see a aspen log that is the front of the blind. Most of mine are just natural blinds with maybe a few branches(nests) to brake up my outline.

One made from materials at hand...

I've got four of these half circles of firewood size  pieces piled up on my small hobby farm. They are actually harder to see than the way it appears in this photo.  

I started hunting the ground last year and just used natural stuff around me with a couple different combos of ghille / leafy suits and it seemed to work pretty well. Granted, no deer seen during that time, but had a coyote that walked up from behind me and was within 7 - 8 yards at one time. As well as a large owl that landed about 12 - 15 yards away. So I figured I was hidden fairly well. That being said, I was considering buying one of the ghost blind predator models this year.

I love my Hidden Hunter blinds. I'm out of the wind and rain and with a little brushing in they look like they belong there.

Do you guys shoot from a chair when you use these ground blinds?

I do.

One of my favorite spots....
 

This will be my first year with mine.

Blessed One- Let us know how that blind works out.  I have always thought it was an interesting concept.

Very good thread, I'm going to do more ground hunting this fall, I think it is a tactic overlooked by myself.

Seems you can hunt more places, without trees, move with the wind direction. I plan on using brush blinds.

Here's one on my deer camp property overlooking a bench above some ponds near the river:

Here's a blow-down I shot a deer from once, public land nearby:

My brush blind is still a work in progress. I trimmed some shrubbery and added it to a natural blow down. It won't help this year but maybe next year, the flowers I planted will come up prolifically. Four O'clocks is the common name of a perennial that grows along my driveway. They grow up to nearly four feet and grow very thickly in direct sunlight or partial shade. Hopefully, that will make a very effective screen.

Some of the blinds in these picture blend in perfectly. Good thread.
