I have a question that I think ya'll fine folks here can help me with. I love to take out and guide newby/first time hunters for spring turkey. I get great pleasure in showing and introducing people into the sport of meeting a wise a wary gobbler in his own enviroment. I get all the satisfaction I need guiding others.
The problem I have though is that with some I can not keep still, try as I may we have been busted on account of the hunter's movements. I was thinking about maybe trying the portable "pop up" blinds such as Double Bull makes. Has anyone used theses types and if so any comments on them? Pros and cons are welcome. Just from looking at them they look like the cats meow. Do they set up quickly?


Last spring I had a friend that wanted to try his hand at spring turkey, so I took him. Him and I had the most memorable hunt I have had in my 43 years here on earth. I would tell the story but it's a long one. In a nutshell, we set up on several gobblers in the AM only to be skunked due to him moving twice and me once by a tom that came in silent and busted me when I decided to move. That bird was within 12 yards of me and never made a sound. Oh well, we had a great time , I finally got him within range on this 10" rio grandethat afternoon. We even had the chance to meet Mr. Game Warden on my own land!

ahhh the memories.......doubleA
