Other........I try to set up with a natural ground blind of some sort, hedgerow,blowdown or what ever is handy. Have used wild grapevines also.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Ground blind with decoys in the spring; treestand in the fall (since I'm deer hunting at the same time).

Since I generally hunt with my gal, I voted for pop-up blinds because that is what we usually use.

As an aside, on the few occasions I do hunt alone I really enjoy using my ghillie suit. A little (actually a lot) harder to get drawn on a close bird, but fun none the less.

Generally use natural blinds, a carryover from duck hunting. Easier than packing in a commercial blind.

I hunt off a stool and try to sit in some cover or beside a big tree. Decoys don't work very often where I hunt, the birds hang up and won't come in.

on the ground no blind, no gillie- regular camo with a decoy, my bow and my camera  :)
