I have had success with putting up the blind the same day.Bein that you have to pack it in and out set it up in cover and in a blind spot on approachin game so that you can ambush em.Go in the area durin the day and scout and take the blind and set it up to see how good it is concealed and also how your view is out of it and adjust as necessary.Have the ground cleared of woods litter and when you want to hunt you,ll be all set up to set it up and hunt.Good luck.
