I have 2 or 3 ground blinds that I hunt out of. I have only used them the last couple years. I usually put them in the edge of the woods and try to blend them in to the surroundings by weeds, brush, etc. or place them under a low hanging tree.

I have been wondering lately if anyone has ever simply placed them out in the open in a field or grass area, etc. Simply 60-100 rows outside the woods in a corn or bean field? Obviously this would have to be done well in advance of actual hunting season for the deer to get used to it being there. I have actually seen deer here that will gather around things left in fields, like wagons, tractors and other farm equipment.

Have anyone ever tried not hiding your blind and simply placing it in the wide open in a field?
