I don't use a pop up blind. Some guys love them but I like being mobile should a stalk present itself if the deer are fairly close but not heading my way. I either make a natural blind from the surroundings or find enough cover to hide in.
Imake smallshooting lanes if sitting in tall grass, clover, cattailsor weed patches. The deer are real good for looking down them if you make them too big. I bend the cover overabout 2 - 3 ft high if I am sitting... higher if I am standingso it doesn't look like a trail. Learned the hardway long agowith a couple deer stopping to look down themand then walk in the lane right at me. I like them close but not that close and don't care for head on shots with a bow!!

Saturday is the big day in Wisconsin. I am going up next weekend not this one. Our snowmobile club has its yearly picnic and I offered to grill. Oh well it is to hot to hunt anyway. I am ready though and have been practicing alot and got the acorns falling from the tree I hunt . Hopefully it all comes together like TJF so we can really pull ahead early. good luck boys it's gonna be a great season. Been seeing some big ones....

Raining here too but I tried anyway when the sun came out. Got wet & here I am.
I'm going to a couple spots this afternoon to set up blinds & might head out early & tent hunt. My mother in laws coming over so I sure aint staying here.
