Ground Blind vs. Tree stand

[deputydon]

I have used a ground blind on turkeys, but because of an old neck injury I don't bow hunt. I can see possiblites during rifle and ML seasons for a ground blind. I'm just not sure about bow season. What do you guys think?

It's said that deer may or may not spook from a groundblind.
It's said turkey are stupid and walk into it.

That's true.
Turkey don't even see the blind.
Deer on the other hand...goes both ways. Sometimes they don't see it, see it but don't care, or they run like hell at the first site of it.

I wouldn't put the blind in the middle of a field. I would also keep one window somewhat open for shooting and maybe crack one or two others just to barely see out of them. Deer will see you in there if too much light is comming in.

It's not a matter of odorless - it's a matter of location, windows, and the deer's mood at that time.

I built a CUSTOM aluminum climber with some improvements over the treelounge design, but its the closest standard manufactured stand to mine(so you get the basic idea) and It proven to be a very effective tool/accessory
you may want to look thru the videos on the treelounge site, then think about the advantages
many of my friends who can,t tig weld bought the treelounge climbers. almost all are happy with them

I have one of both and use both. The both have their places in the field. I guess I don't want to be limited by just one as they both have their limits.
I have had deer spot me in the tree in areas where their hunted by bow hunters and have had the ground blind spook deer. But I have also seen the oppisite too so like I said, they both have their limitations.
