RE: Blind tips, strategies, and other info
Just let your imagination run wild. Natural blinds are the greatest. I have successfully used ditches, creeks, a patch of golden rods on the edge of a field, all sorts of things. Like I say, let your imagination be your limit. One of the best blind I ever had was a big logging chopper. You know, the thing they run over an area to bust up the little junk left behind so they can replant pines in southern pine country. At the time I was in a club that leased 3,000 acres from Georgia Pacific. They logged one section, 640 acres one year and another section the next year. When they were running the chopper it was like a magnet. At the end of the day they just shut it off and left it where they finished. 20 or 30 minutes after they shut off all the deer came boiling out of the woods still standing to feed on all the fresh leaves and garbage knocked down to their level. It was amazing to watch. They literally ran into the clear cut to eat. Just climb up in the chopper seat and watch for them to show up. After the first couple weekends it was like a big fight to see who got the chopper that day. "It's nearer my stand... it's parked where my stand used to be etc etc etc" It was fun times. In those 2 years a lot of deer got shot off the seat of a big logging rig.
