Default RE: Does a ground blind spook deer?

Hi,
You' re better off crouching down in the grass than using a ground blind. The problem is that you don' t have a backdrop behind you so the blind is standing out. If it were up against a hill or even dense cover it would blend in. Is there a treeline or brushline close by that you could set up against? Is the color of the blind the same as the grass or is it a woods camo pattern?

All the deer see is the top of the blind standing out against the skyline, just as a hunter would, so the blind is not accomplishing anything. The purpose of a blind is to set it up against a backdrop of cover that is the same color so that is conceals you. Hope that helps.
Good Luck this season!
