First year hunting deer from ground blind
« on: October 10, 2014, 08:54:00 PM »


Earlier in the week I missed an eight point from my ground blind. That was one of the holes in my mesh window. The second hole wasn't a miss.

I've hunted turkeys from the ground blind but never deer. I've also taken several deer from the ground while still hunting/stalking... but never from a pop up blind.

I think my miss was due to the unusual position I found myself in when shooting. I had practiced from inside the blind, but some set ups are a bit different.

Two deer came in and I tried to pick the larger of the two. Both were does. They seemed to be about the same size, so I picked the one that offered me the best angle... quartering away.

I drew, picked my spot and released. The arrow hit right where I was looking. The deer went 15 yards and piled up.

Wayne, I got hooked on blind hunting a few years ago. I do not have none out now. I am looking into building some to leave out all year long.

Thanks all!

Tim: check out the blinds that "Bisch" builds. The thread is on page 1 and entitled "GROUND BLINDS".

Congratulations!  I enjoy hunting from my ground blind, but I have also yet to take one from it with my trad equipment.

Please submit some pics from an outside view of your setup from the different angles of which you expect the deer to approach?

Congratulations Wayne on a fine bow shot...and for properly placing and setting up your ground blind so as not to spook the local whitetails or cause them to shy away from it.  I'ed like to see a picture of your ground blind and how you set it up.
