RE: Blind hunting deer.....
I have found that if using a ground blind the best thing to do is to get it to the site well before the season if possible and brush it in so the deer get used to its presence. The other thing that you can do is to create a natural blind, again far in advance of the season that the deer will get used to. A buddy of mine did this last season and used it to rattle in and take his biggest buck to date.
