I've turkey hunted in the woods now a few times.....and I gotta tell ya.....you guys who hunt deer with a ground blind have my respect.

I've heard more blowin and snortin than I've EVER heard from a tree....in the last 3 weeks. I haven't had ONE deer NOT get spooked at the mere sight of the blind.

I understand I have 2 things going against me (as far as deer set-ups):

1- It's not brushed in
2- I have the netting "up"

But....you'd think my Matrix was neon yellow to their eyes. They LOCK DOWN on it VERY early.

I don't know if I'd deer hunt from a blind, now. I'm thinking rainy days are good days to stay at home with MY dear.

I might set it up in a new spot I have and brush it in good a time or two......just to see the difference. Who knows? I just know that I feel VERY "exposed" to the deer, here......and they aren't fooled.
