If you do it right, you just may call in a buck thinking another buck is making a scrape. No lie! LOL!
Blinds aren't that big, so in short order you'll have the area void of leaves. Just walk in slow, pick your spot, clear and set the blind up.(use hands or boot) It really helps to get in early too so that things "settle down" as they say.
Often I'll take the leaves, push some together and gently pick them up with my gloved hands(cold out) and lay them outside the area where the blind is going to be. I've also just set the blind up and then cleared the leaves to the sides once inside it. It does suppress some of the noise if you want to be more stealth.
