Done it all ways.
Out of elevated at one spot because its just a bit better. I actually hate elevation as it can give weird angles to shots. I prefer the ground level.
We also hunt a lot just sitting against trees. No camo. Dog next to us. Who often sees the movement far out first.
When I'm hunting pistol or bow I have to hunt closer so dog movement is more critical and we may get into a pop up or box blind close for the bow.
A nice blind sealed up when its nasty is nice. Wind and cold don't bother but rain sucks. And being inside makes the dog happier as he doesn't like cold that much.
Blinds up in the air tend to move too much for me too when its windy. When I need a really solid rest for a long shot and hold for the wind issue the blinds just wiggle a bit much for my tastes.
They don’t move if cabled on 4 sides with turnbuckles.
