I've had some success. Killed a couple. Pros: Makes rattlin a lot less noticeable, movementwise. Weather is less of a factor. Cons: LIMITED VISION! Opening weekend ( in KY ) was frustrating. I could hear 'em movin all around me. But because I was on the ground, I couldn't see squat. Movin' back up into a stand next year.

Never have used one, though I am open to the idea. Many a deer has been killed by a hunter just sitting against a tree, so why not?

I see the main advantages being portability (no trees? no problem) and being able to shoot just as easily in any direction.

Disadvantages: SCENT is even more of a factor than in a tree and you just can't see as far.
