Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Default blind hunting

I have a silly question, how do you carry everything and still stay mobil?? I hunted last year by myself and carried everything I needed fine in my vest. This season I was planning on taking my 6yo son along. I wanted to get a blind so as not to be too worried about a little movement from him, and he also wants to video the hunt like he sees on TV. Great idea I thought but how do I carry all my turkey stuff, blind, chair, and video equ and still be able to pack up and move if needed?

Anyone out there use a similar set up and if so how do you get it all in?

One thing you could do is use the new Avery rag blinds.

They fold to less that 12 inches but provide a 12 foot barrier. Carrying 2 of these would be no problem as I have done so lots of times.

A rag blind is just a flat panel shield you look over. It has break apart poles so it can fold and roll-up easily. I won about 4 of different camo backgrounds. Can be set-up quickly around any tree you choose to use as a back rest. Will allow lots of lower body movement and with a small bit of brushin' in will blend into any surrounding quickly

As the season's get closer I'll post pictures of what I use like I did last year.

Or pattern birds and then use a tent style blind. I also use these at times and they allow a lot of movement under certain conditions.

But if ya run N gun I would choose the rag blind set-up.

I carry plenty of camo mesh and some clothes pins, so that I can quickly rig up a blind if need be. I prefer a blind of surrounding materials though.
