Derek So glad I found your channel I hunt in deep southern Alabama and the wma I hunt is similar to where you hunt in Florida so I’m enjoying this shared knowledge a ton. Definitely gonna try ground hunting this year as there is tons of places where getting in a tree just doesn’t work because it’s so thick.
Thanks for the tips. My back also reminds me how much I need a support. I've used a back brace that wraps around my core with some success when I don't have a back support built into the stand.
The chair I am running is the Helinox Café Chair at $170.00 its more money but you do not sit so low. It is like a regular chair. 3lbs. I use a back net also
Derek great video as always! I'm starting to ground hunt more now because of clear cuts. We have a lot of cypress swaps. I concur with natural elements in my hunting clothes bag. I do same thing. But I do buck spray on occasion. What do you use for buck spray? I'm using vanilla extract mixed with water. I do have Nose jammer not sure if I like that yet.
@heavydieselengine8989 not a stupid question, that dictates which management area's I hunt sometimes. Some management area's only allow parking in designated area's but the majority you can park anywhere that doesn't obstruct a road whether it's open or closed. It should say in the brochure.
Do you practice shooting sitting down? I feel like I can't keep proper form unless I am standing up with my feet planted correctly. Right now I am using a double bull ground blind because I feel like my form is crap sitting down or shooting at a downward angle out of a stand.
@Steve-ev6vx For years I practiced standing, sitting, on my knees, leaning out from behind a tree, basically any real life situation I could dream up. Now that it's just instinct I really don't shoot much but for alot of years I shot every day as much as I could.
@newperspective1318 I just looked so I didn't give you any bad info. Mine was like $80, it's a little different model than the $36 one that comes up first. The base looks a little different.
@@newperspective1318 Helinox Chair One Original Lightweight, Compact, Collapsible Camping Chair a.co/d/4vES6Ut mine is this style just a different brand.
@newperspective1318 I'll be right down the road from you pretty much all zone D general gun. I'll do the late season February primitive weapon hunt and I have the Telogia Creek late gun. Good luck.
Derek

I ground hunt with recurve bow and I have a lot of hardware in my back that chair looks like the ticket.

@@FinCityFL I don't use any scent blockers or cover scent other than a deer scent or the vanilla occasionally.
My ghillie suit is all matted up with weed seeds and twigs 😂
@@brushcrawler8612 That's one thing I like about this one, the stuff doesn't stick to it as bad as it does most of them.
Good stuff keep it up! 🤟
Don't hunt deer much on public, but when I do, I do it like you do
Stupid question, where do you park in the Fl WMA? Do you just park on the side of the road? Is it required to park in the parking spot?

I still have not found a chair, I can sit in and feel comfortable. Imma see about the chair you use, maybe try it out.
@newperspective1318 it's the best one I've found for me. It's a Onetigris I bought off Amazon.
@@Dereknorwoodoutdoors Ty, I went and looked, and was surprised at the price. Only $39.

What camo pattern or color is your leafy top??
@user-xd5rk8xo4c It's a Redhead Advantage Max-1. They aren't made anymore but occasionally I'll find them on Ebay.
@@Dereknorwoodoutdoorsthx!, are you only ground hunting with it or tree stand as well?
@user-xd5rk8xo4c It's really the only camo I own so I pretty much use it for everything including turkey hunting.
