I have used a guillie (sp) suite on the ground or make shift blind. Mainly its when the wind is wrong for a treestand and I want to hunt a certain area. Moving tothe ground at a better position allows this. The land I hunt in Illinois is strip mined and has rough spoiled terrain. Its difficult to see very far and prepare for the shot and or film. I did take a doe last winter from the ground. It was spot and stalk. She was feeding at 60 yards and I got between an osasge tree and her and slipped up to 15 yards. It was windy and soft snow. I felt good when I walked up to her. It was 11:00 AM and had time to drag her out and still get into a treestand for the evening hunt. Ha!
