how many use tree stands to ground blinds?

I own both , but I'm partial to my pop-up ground blinds .
Advantages:
1)You can move more
2)You don't need camo
3)Your scent is somewhat more contained
4)You can uses a heater on cold days
5) Rain , snow , and cold breezes are not a factor
6) Nobody ever died from falling out of a ground blind
7)Pop-ups weigh less than almost any tree stand
8)Portability
9)Take little skill to set up

The biggest advantage that a tree stand has is range of visibility , you can see much farther from 15-30 feet up a tree than you can from the ground .
Disadvantages:
1)Falls from 25' or higher are usually fatal
2)Non-fatal falls usually leave you badly injured
3)Every cold breeze , and rain or snow storm gets you
4)You can get busted easily
5)Takes practice to use , and requires safety equipment
6)Camo selection/site choice are critical

I hunt from both, and prefer treestands for their visibility factor. Other than that I would feel much safer on the ground. They both have their place in every deer hunters bag of tricks.

YEP!.........They sure are!

Deer on the other hand seen to be a bit wiser on them.

I too have had deer close to my pop-up....but I have also had deer "lock-up" as soon as they spotted it.

This year during an archery hunt I had a doe just freeze at about 50 or so yards. She was up-wind with a steady breeze. She just kept cocking her head and kept looking, she never stomped or blew. After about 15 minutes, she slowly turned and WALKED back the way she came.

I have never seen a turkey react to the blind.

With that said, I have not hunted elevated in two years. All of my hunting for the last two years have centered around teaching my son, and I am not comfortable allowing him to sit by himself YET. Therefore, pop-up ground blinds are our best option.....currently.
