This will be my second year bowhunting, so I am coming to this as a bit of a noob. I am really interested in trying to bow hunt deer from the ground this year. I have done a bunch of searches on this forum, and read as many magazine articles as I can find on the subject. As far as blinds go I have a Barronett 350. I am also considering just sitting in an improvised hide, or using a ghillie suit. Because I am so new at this I wonder if any of you who have actually done this sort of hunting can comment whether or not it's appropriate for a new hunter? I had several opportunities for kills last year but waited, in vain, for a buck. So I can't say I've had a lot of success, though I have learned lots of lessons. My primary reason for going without a stand is that I don't want to rely on others to help me locate trees and set up stands. If I go to nearby public land I want to be able to get in and out as easily as possible.
Any wisdom is appreciated. Like I said, I have done all the searches I can think of before posting this. I guess I'm just looking for any extra wisdom may have missed.
