Do you enjoy hunting in blinds?

[last arrow]

I sit in a fabric covered box all day at work so its the last thing I want to do for recreation.   I like to feel the breeze in my face, or on my back.

I don't mind being in them when chasing turkeys, but I don't care for them too much when deer hunting.  I can't see enough!

I love it.

There are a number of pro's to blind hunting. As stated already you get away with a lot of movement. I have a bad back, take a comfortable folding out chair in mine, wife often hunts deer with me and in cold weather this helps her to stay out longer, knocks the wind off. I also have several open top, natural blinds that work and occasionally use a treestand. I have had just as much succes on the ground as from a treestand, and find myself there more and more. If you have kids they can get away withmovement, and even lay down and take a nap if they need to.This is what works for me, I have taken 53 deer with a bow over the last 20 years, at least half have been on the ground.

I have 3 or 4 brands. I like them all. I don't only hunt out of them but don't mind it.

I even have a 6X5 platform on 16 foot legs, that I can set up my Double Bull on top of. It sets back in a cove on a soybean field. I have been busted on the ground there, busted in a treestand there, busted on the ground in a blind there over the last 5 years. I put the platform in and my blind on top, and got 2 deer out of it last year.

Blinds are a good tool. They are hard for me to use back in the woods because i don't feel like i can see far enough, but on field edges, or out in tallish grass they are great.

I dont like it much.I have used em.I just dont like the feeling of being cooped up in one.Feels unatural to me.Cant hear as well,cant feel the breeze,or see as well.Kinda closterphobic like.

It is a tool though that help you be successful and they work especially well for turkeys with a bow.Great for hunting with young kids no doubt who cant sit still.

i use my Apache groundblind sometimes because its not 360 degrees of coverage with a roof.

I like to walk and stalk and sit where ever but I also like the blind on rainy, or days when it's sleeting or stronger then normal winds.

I set up several blinds preseason and leave them out all season long. I enjoy them on bad weather days for sure nothing better than staying dry and warm in cold wet weather. On a pretty day I would rather be in a tree or out stalking for sure. Blinds have alot of things going for them thought they hide your movement(draw),control your scent some,allow you to hide two or more people if you brig a friend or family member with you. To me its just another good tool to have access to when you need it.

I am not knocking them, as I will be sitting
in one tomorrow morning with my best freind,
but my feeling is that it
"Takes You Out Of The Element" so to speak.
The benefits, and advantages are pretty obvious,
but I would rather be "IN" the environment
if you know what I mean.

Not for me. Had a good sleep in my brothers' during a downpour once though:)
