I am lucky enough to have a place to set mine and leave it. However, most blinds depending on how close to the turkeys you get should be able to sit up with reasonable silence. The key in my book is to practice over and over as you would with a bow. Practice in light until you could sit the blind up with eyes close, then sit it up in dark like before work or after dark at home and do it until you can do it quiet and without trouble. Then come time to sit it up you should be able to do it with a minimum of noise and trouble and get close enough to get a big one!
