You may love it, I think it depends on the person!
You can hunt w/o a blind, but it is tough to draw @ 20 yards or less. Unless your a better shot than most. To shoot a moving target the size of your fist takes PRACTICE!
A good blind is the best! there are some good choices out now.
Double Bull Archery makes mine T-5 w/blackout interior & zipp/out roof.
The new Cabelas version for 150.00 bucks vs 400.00 for a double bull.
Double bull makes an import for 50/75 less & a T-2 for around 250.00
I have hunted w/arrows only since 1979 & started turkey hunting in 1996 after a friend took me as a caller the year before.
I have tried every possiable blind you can think of. I built my own from cheap dome tents, then painted them camo. The wind will blow the less expensive blinds all over, the movment & the noise makes the birds nervous... A double bull placed in the middle of a field or top of any ridge will hold; still, quiet, dry! When staked down @ the corners & guy ropes tyed down they will withstand 40 + mph winds
They are also expensive, that's their biggest downfall! A sporting goods shop in my area rents them for 40 bucks a week.
I go loaded for BEAR, everything but the kitchen. 12 hours in a 6 foot circle needs comfort! Food, water, ect. Then you are not portable, but you find a good location and set up for the day.
I have a spot that has everything; field, swamp, pines, oak ridges, and a corn field all within 400 yards of each other. It's on public land so I have to make sure no one helps themselves to my equipment.
