Ground Blind - Pros

Protects you from bugs, rain, snow, wind, you can get a shot off if you are quite. If your tree stand is too low, ground blind is better option.

Cons- in the early season... to hot in there, limited visibility, small area to shoot through, all "eyes" will be on the blind, deer will come by close but will be watching it- deer will sneak up on odd angles and get close and look in the blind to see if you are in there. Once you adjust the windows thats it.. velcro makes to much noise to re adjust. The wind will blow it away.. if you don't also tie it to trees.brush. Snow will break the rods in late season

I hunted from a ground blind last year when I took my nephew out. We were in a 2 man tree stand but wanted to try another area. The ground blind worked great we had a doe come within 10 feet from us. He blew the shot but, it was a great experience. The only downside is the visibility you lose by being on the ground.
Good luck this year guys.
