Hunting on the Ground Using Only Natural Cover 

Great video, Im 61 and have some physical limitations that have forced me to change how I deer hunt. Ground hunting using natural cover is the only way Im able to hunt now. I hope you keep posting video's that help us senior hunters enjoy our time in the woods and stay safe doing it.

I've been a ground hunter for most of my life, (gun and bow), and I'm 67 yrs old now, and I still do it that way because I love it. I've had the opportunity to try out many different types of hunting seats over that time period, (especially since I used to sell hunting equipment back in the day), and I finally found one that I really like a lot. In my opinion it's the best one out there-period! Especially if you're a mobile hunter. It's lightweight and comfortable, but most importantly it's dead quiet in any weather. I've used it in temperatures that were in the single digits, and it never made a squeak even when you shifted your weight on it. I've never had a seat like that. You guys have to check one of these out. It's called the "Ground Effect," and it's made in the USA by 03 Outfitters by two Marine Corps veterans.

Thanks for sharing those tips ! it's always good to learn some new tricks from guys that hunt on the ground . I definitely want to do more ground blind hunting this coming year i'm not getting any younger , I typically hunt from tree stands but maybe breaking it up a bit would be nice and a little bit easier than caring your stands into the woods , thanks again for sharing you tips, good luck in the deer woods.

Enjoy your podcast, but this is the first time I’ve run across your RU-vid channel... heard you mention it on episode 111. I found this video super helpful. Thank you. Keep making them!

Good stuff Steve

Great information my friend 👍

Great video! Please do more of these. I primarily hunt off the ground in natural cover. The issues I run across frequently are access and how aggressive the set up is. It would be great if you can do a video showing a ground set up, your acess to and from, what frequency you’d expect to use that spot and why. Thanks!!!

Good content. I have found that a pair of pruning shears are the trick for trimming in the switch cane. I also use 3 or 4, 2 1/2 foot pieces of painted PVC pipe to put cane in front of me where I need it. I carry a hank of Jute twine or rope with me just to bend over or tie cover in place for future hunts. Good video.👍👍

Love the video, I have been hunting with a traditional bow for 10 years. I have seen an abundance of info on shooting form, split finger vs 3 under, gear info , tabs vs gloves , bow styles & designs, etc etc but there seems to be a shortage at least from my experience on how to actually hunt and set up using a traditional bow, which is again in my experience totally opposite of compound hunting. Hope you continue with this type information.

Ghillie suits work great as wel

Kudzu is an invasive plant similar to ivy, introduced early 20th century, for livestock and ground cover/erosion prevention. Kudzu is an unusually hardy plant of the Fabaceae family. Cutting, mowing, burning and tilling do not completely eradicate it from an area. Rapid growth and resistance to disease makes it difficult to eradicate in one operation. Yes , I know what it is

Very informative. Thank you! I’m looking to do some out of state hunting on public land & don’t want to have to lug in a blind or tree stand. When gun hunting, do you find that blaze orange with a camo pattern (like your vest) is better than solid orange for breaking up your outline?

I’d love to hear what your using for a seat if using one at all? I’m considering a Waldrop pac seat, just trying to justify the cost.

Here in Georgia, there are lots of venemous snakes in the woods; would you avoid getting into that thick downed tree and brush because snakes might be in there? Being a new hunter, I want to know if snakes are a concern of yours when choosing where to set up?

Keep pruning shears to make up cover

U won't kill a deer here. Too open
