Default RE: Ground Blinds

Im glad you are respectin the wishes of the landowner. There are ways to really conceal a groundblind among the cedars and brush, as I have has luck on the ground and in the air. If you are looking for a place for the blind, try and get near a trail, feeding area, or bedding. Make sure you have 360 degrees of sight as well.

Last year my first purchase of a blind only gave me 3/4 shooting and sight. but I had it less than 30 yards from a good clover plot. Its like time work, they eat, and usually late in the evening, minutes from dusk. The second thing to consider is what weapon you are hunting with, a bow blind you need space to move to where your shot is. If the blind is dark inside, wear dark clothes, and even darken your face to allow movement in the blind without being busted.


This year, besides three tree blinds and a climber, I bought the primos eclipse. Its huge....70"x70" and over 6.6 ft tall with 360 degrees shooting through mesh, or remove it. Nothing wrong with being on the ground if you are where your scouting has shown trails and feeding areas.

go get them....and always respect the landowner!
