Hunting in a blind is hunting. You make it easy to harvest game for yourself. It is also a hell of a lot easier for me to scout game I manage if I bait them into a blind. Or for those who have surgery, it is much easier (been there, repaired knee). So, look at the needs of the hunter, and cater to them. We do the same with our tools and weapons. I dont take a cross bow hunting for dove......
But, I will say this. Nothing hunting wise beats the experience of stalking a deer for hours. Running the trails, looking for rubs, listening to calls. Then, in the freezing wind, taking an off hand shot at an unknown distance. Getting that kind of kill.....there is few things like it.
