you could use the blind but it is not necessary. it is just something more to carry. you would be puting it up and taking it down all day long as you move. and that gets old in a hurry. i try to take the least amount of gear as possible everything gets real heavy after 5,6 or more hours of dragging it around. alot of times camo is not even needed. i have shot coyotes in deer season wearing blaze orange.
