I hunt and film for turkey in the back country of Oregon for
North American Hunting Competition. Weight is an issue but I always pack a blind if I can. Sometimes they will sound off too close and I hunt the ground. Any time they will give me time I always use a blind. I have found my kill ratio went up dramatically when I use my blind. If you would like to see me in action and the effectiveness of a blind go to
www.northamericanhuntingcompetition.com and you can see my blinds in action. Good luck and good hunting.
