Do ground blinds frighten deer?
Reason I think they dois because on 9/16 Ibuilt a ground blind and yesterday 10/19 I finally got a chance to go hunt it. What happened was a buck came thru but never got closer than 50 yards. He didn't know I was there but seemed weary about approaching. I considered it's possible the blind just wasn't in his route cause afterall it's not like he started to come my way then changed directions. He pretty much straightlined 50 yards out.
Still the question lingers in my mind... could he and other deer be wearyof my ground blind? Granted it's been there over a month but I'm sure they remember that before then it wasn't. Any thoughts?
