How successful are y'all hunting in the open like this, from the ground?

I have killed a truckload of deer slipping slooooowly along or just sitting against a tree.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I was in a turkey lounger a week ago and watched 4 deer feed about 30 yards in front of me. One doe fed to within about 12 yards of me and the wind shifted. She stomped and would take a step forward. Stomp and take another step forward. She got within 7 yards of me before she figured me out. I was in camo from head to foot.

I kill the majority of my deer from the ground. No blind. Just a gun and gobbler lounger. Very effective, but you got to play the wind and thermals.

I've hunted equally as much from the ground (hammock seat, no blind) this year and have seen just as many deer doing so. Had several within 30 yards up to as close as 10 yards. Having good cover at your back is key, and I do make sure to have on good camo head to toe. The important factor outside hunting the right wind is to sit STILL. Having a good seat hunting on the ground is the most important aspect to being able to sit still enough. Killed a nice 7 point during muzzeloader season at 25 yards sitting on the ground, he never had a clue I was there. As has been mentioned, if you don't get the wind right you can toss the rest of the tactics out the window.

I took a camp chair and sat in a bunch of pines a week or so ago and had a 4 point walk within 5 yards of me. Never spooked just feed on by on his way. I need the wind to get right and I’ll slip back in there got several does on camera.

I know a guy who hunts in bluejeans, flannel shirt, covered in concrete (his living) who sits in the $5 walmart plastic chairs (white might I add) as pulls out deer all the time. Big ole bucks too.

I take a turkey chair and snuggle up next to a tree or make a little ground blind. The wind is the key.
