I hunt from blinds a-lot but my blinds are made of the surroundings. I get logs, brush and cut pine tree limbs from the surrounding area to make them and I blend right in.
I also do this way before hunting season starts as making one even putting up a store bought blind you'll leave a-lot of scent and the deer will know you were there, especially a big ol smart buck. This gives them time to get used to it and they'll consider it safe.
As for pop up blinds and the others, to me I did have one a long time ago, sure there nice to keep the elements off you and they do keep your scent down a little, but they stick out like a sore thumb. If you brush one in with limbs and stuff to conceal it that would be your best bet. Try to make it match your surroundings and do as little pruning in the area as possible. Be as scent free as you can and hunt the blind when you have the best chance of scoring on that buck.
Now you may think I'm nuts but the deer will check out your blind in the night when your gone, they'll know you were there because of the scent you left behind. I once was in my tree stand not far from my blind when the big buck I was hunting came strolling in. He walked right over to my blind and smelled around and walked around it, if I was in it I'm sure I'd of scored on him. Then he turned and walked away to never be seen again. I blame it on the scent I left behind. So be sure to use your blind when the time is right and good luck.
