I’ve got 2 ladders, a ground blind and a treehouse for my close to home bowhunting. But my mobile setup this year is going to be as a ground pounder. I’d welcome any tips from folks who do it regular and have success. Been watching some YouTube videos. I know it’s doable. I have some ideas. But I welcome tips as well.

Kodiak, you use some kind of seat? I have a millennium tree seat. I even thought about something like a dove stool.

AC the best tip I can give you for on the ground bow hunting is to get an ASAT leafy suit. Deer will literally walk right by you if the wind is right. I had 4 does mill around for 10 minutes about 20 feet from me, then they passed by within 6 feet of me while wearing mine a few years. It was if they were looking through me. I already knew the suit worked, but if you can fool Marshall county mama deer that close, it's good stuff.
The only deer I have ever killed with my bow from the ground was a doe a long time ago. I was sitting on a white and yellow hyrdaulic fluid bucket that loggers had left behind.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

I use natural cover and sit behind a tree from where I think the deer will travel, i usually cut a couple small leaf limbs and stick in ground around where I sit and one to hold in my hand. Just be prepared for the deer to travel a different route and to draw your bow and hold longer than your used to. Ive killed 3 with my butt on the ground but thats cuz they snuck up on me, ideally I like to be on one knee to where I can shift around the tree if needed. I also like to hunt on ridge with decent wind but it still swirls a bit, thats just part of hunting Bama and just pray it doesn't happen with a deer close by.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Ben Franklin

AC, I've got a sling seat on the way. I will let you know what I think about it after I use it a few times. My plan is to set it up on a tree with a quick throw down turkey blind in front of me. The sling chair "looks" like it should be comfortable. I've got a bad back, so we'll see.
To GOD be All the glory!!!

Could be a game changer for the ground pounding.

The answer to your question is HECS!!! Guaranteed to let you lip drag the biggest buck in the woods out to the truck!! No need to worry about anything else, just cause electrical interference and they will never know what hit'em!

I’m primarily going to try ground hunting with my bow this year and my setup is just a leafy suit with a turkey lounger chair. Might be alittle heavy, but it seems like it’s gonna be comfy.
