I like 'em close and I use a bow and I don't see that I'm missing anything by using the blind to hunt them. I can still hear nature wakin' up, I can still see nature wakin' up, and I killed both turkeys this year at 5 yards. It was a rush. What am I missing again? Sitting against a tree so I can shoot a turkey at 50 yards with boom stick is more fun?
Im with you on this one.. Not sure why he thinks its a problem. I dont hunt with them when I am using a gun because I dont really need to and I dont like toting them around. When bow hunting, heck ya, althoughI have tried with a bow without a blind with moderate success. I have not hunted out of a blind this year when I was by myself, and only once and thats because I took a 13 year old kid who couldn't sit still.
Benjaminearl: Why do you automatically assume that mostpeople who use blinds drive them in with a 4 wheeler? I walk mine in and I dont know many people who have trouble carring a 10 pound blind into the woods with them. Even if I am going out the night before to set it up I walk it in.
