I love blind huntingfor deer but mainly during muzzleloader,if I hunt on the ground with my bow Iusually don'tuse my box blind, I use a natural blind (branch endor stump endof deadfalls, old tobaccobarn &smoke house,or I'll cut out a small pocket intosuper thick areas that borderfields/food plots). I use my blind a lot during muzzlelaoder on old logging roads, powerlines and edges. I like to use the edges because once I brush it up a little just a little inside the edgeI think the deer have trouble with depth perception and picking it out against the wood line.Ikeep all the windows zipped up as much as possible andleave just enough open to seeout of and shoot out of. That worksgood for muzzleloader but not so good for bow, that is why I prefer the openness of a natural blind for bow, I have had some very unnerving experiences with whitetails on the ground with my bow. Sometimes they get too close (inside 2 or 3 yards) and things get very interesting. I always end up spooking thembecause youcan't even breathe at that rangewithout them seeing or smelling you, but it's still pretty fun.
