i hunted out of a tree stand this year for the first time, and i loved it. I like it better than a ground blind

The only problem I have with my treestand is falling asleep in it.  I have an API Grandslam Super Mag and it is so damn comfortable that it is easy to fade to black, especially after a sleepless night or a long day of hard hunting.

I love my new viper cause i won't fall out if i fall asleep! I had a stand(Something rivers) steel fold up climber that i treestand hunted with in Arkansas. Almost fell out of the stand 25ft in the air because i dozed off... Bought a nice harness, not the cheepies that come with the climber... The Vipers are like lazyboys attached to a tree! makes it a pleasure to be in the stand... I bring a book and can stay in for 5 hrs during the early season piece of cake! I still wear my harness even though i don't think it is possible to fall out of this new viper...

I have never had any sucess out of a store bought ground blind.  I love my tree stands.  I got cheap ones and I put them up before the season starts and leave them till the last day.  I have never had one stolen but you need climbing spurs to get to them.

I have the same problem, I can get 9 hours sleep that night and still be fighting to stay awake in my stand.

I bought a gorilla self climber at wal mart for 80 bucks 3 years ago and it works great.  I shot my deer out of a ground blind that i made out of a fallen tree that cut a few shooting lanes though and added a branch here or there.  12 yard shot never knew i was there.  THe blind literally took me 10 minutes to build.  I got lucky but i dont think you need to buy a ground blind.

will be trying my new ground blind starting tomorrow, I'll let you know what I think.

Personally, I hate hunting out of a treestand.  That being said, I wouldn't argue that they are probably the best way to harvest big whitetails.  They certainly have their place... I just get too damn antsy in em, plus I don't like heights.

i bought a ground blind this year. it was fun and I will definitely use it again on some, but definitely not all, hunts in the future. 

I'm not too crazy about stands for a conglomeration of small reasons. Tree stands are the #1 source of serious hunting accidents. I'm not comfortable in heights. it just feels unnatural to me.
