Howler, You need to re-read this thread. I posted it to encourage those that are "only" blind hunter's to not be afraid to change tactics once in a while and to take up the chase. I do blind hunt and will blind hunt in the future. I read a post on here last wk. and the guy that posted it was asking for advice. Apparently he had been hunting a group of birds that day in and day out had been gobbling in the timber behind the field he had his blind set up in. Several of us encouraged him that a different approach might be to start the day out sitting at the base of a tree back in the timber. After several posts back and forth it became apparent that this guy was almost afraid to try turkey hunting outside of his blind. I started thinking about a few guys that I know personally and they hunt solely from their blinds. With that thought in mind I thought I might encourage those that are reluctant to try another approach and suggest that they try hunting outside of their blinds. It's hard to argue that they will become better hunters if they do and they will enjoy more success in the future. Being one dimensional is not condusive to being successful in the turkey hunting arena.
No need to argue here. I was just trying to help some of the new guysand encourage them that it is OK to try something different. I'm just trying to help out.
