Anyone have any info about ground blinds...good or bad? I have a great place to hunt, but there isn's a tree around, and no good natrual cover. Kinda curious about a ground blind. Thanks
I am going to give mine it's first crack tomorrow morning. I have hunted from 2 natural ground blinds before, and taken many deer from them. Tomorrow will be my first deer hunt out of the pop up kind. Had the biggest buck of my life walk 15 yards right by me and stand perfectly still for me to get the worse case of buck fever and send an arrow well over his back.
I just set my blind up yesterday in shooting distance of 4 scrapes. Plus, if you will be rattling, there is no need to worry about them seeing the movement
I have one but haven't hunted out of it in a few years. Actually planning on picking it up from my place in Wi during the week. Hoping to get my girls out in it with me this season.
I have a couple blinds, but what I really like is making natural ones. I like to use cedar a lot, in cedar thickets in the late season. Fallen trees as a backdrop and good cover with a couple shooting lanes will work. I will trim a branch to hang my bow on next to me, or if there is nothing like that, I have a bowholder that pushes into the ground. Camo mesh netting and burlap also work well.Hunting from the ground is great. But you gotta be on your toes at all time, that's for sure!
look natural is good but there is still alot of reasons to use a ground blind . 1. they hide your sent from some of the best noses in the world 2.the best eyes 3.they protect you from the elements 4. if you prepare your area less chances of noise I got the 5 hub hunter field & stream ground blind its as big as the others realtree camo and very well priced under $100.00 shoot thru mesh black interior only complaint is it was a liitle stiff at first to open but now smooth as tennessee whiskey. If you dont have thousands of dollars to spend on a bow and arrows and broadheads and all the stuff we all want but cant afford there is companies out there that know its hard on a working mans budget to get all those things so they price reasonably I dont have a lot of money so this applies to me i been buying what i can when i can a piece here a piece there some new some used. you dont have to have sent lok and double bull ground blinds and the newest bow to be successful just good equipment and the will to succeed. GOOD HUNTING MY FRIEND!
