I tried a gillie suit two years ago got really close but found strings on My suit always grabbed the bow string, have had trouble finding a blind that is easy to shoot a 64" bow in. So last year I went back to the stand and killed my first two traditional white tails.
I've used a 70" bow while on my knees in a stand you just need to cant the bow like when your in a blind,,, ghillies just sew netting over the breast area where the loose material is. my favorite is a leafy suit and I just sit or kneel down right at the base of fat tree with some ground growth around it,,, prefer to have other trees directly in front of me a few feet away (like turkey hunting with a bow) so I can draw my bow and shoot by the left or right side when its time but I have taken a few deer where I was just sitting right there in the open,,,,, you need to wait till they look somewhere else or hear something,, push pull method of drawing it was works the best. when my buddy was learning to ground hunt because of his bad back he listened to my instructions wrong instead of setting up the wind and sitting off to the side of a run he used a 5-gallon bucket painted camo and sat right on the run!!! he had a doe walk right up to him and they stared at each other at about 10' away..... the leafy suit is the best I found for ground hunting. but I killed one buck standing there with my work clothes on,,, its no movement and drawing the bow at the correct time,,, you cannot move at all for hours or very very slow motion.
