Folks will never give up their tree stands. I agree that blinds are building in popularity, but they just aren't as effective for deer as a tree stand. Note that I said AS effective, because they are effective. I shot one out of a pop up last fall.

Now for turkeys, pop ups are venom. That's the way to go for birds....They simply pay NO attention to a blind at all. Just don't get out of the blind with birds in sight...
