Ground Blinds?
bjrogg:
Here's a couple pictures
BowEd:
Looks like a pretty good brush pile there.
Digging an 18" deep hole big enough to put your feet in and sit down to shoot behind cover worked for me once.Even tall grass for cover.Gotta practice shooting sitting down then though.
bjrogg:
I was thinking about the digging holes to Ed I don't know why but for some reason I seem to shoot better sitting down or on one knee. A couple things I think I'm going to like about this stump ground blind I think I might be able to shoot through some holes sitting and have enough cover to stand if I want to. I also think the wildlife will be comfortable with it and it should last for many years.

I hunt on the ground also. I like to move around and hunt where ever I find a good spot. For years now I use fencing as a lightweight portable blind. About 8-10 ft of 36" tall garden fence with grass woven through it rolls up to about 12" diameter. I weave a couple sharpened sticks through each end to stake it out.

I like natural materials, this one is made behind a dirt hump a dozer pushed up on the edge of what was a log yard that I turned into a food plot. I had another across the plot for different wind directions. I dug out a flat spot to set my chair in both of the blinds on this plot.
It has holes to shoot through;
This one has a bunch of brush tied to existing small saplings, again with shooting holes. Every time I hunted it I would cut an arm load of brush on my way to the blind to fill in empty spots. This blind is in a funnel in a deep hollow that is full of white oaks. I killed my biggest buck to date out of it at 8 yards.
