Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Would a ground blind be good for turkey hunting?

Thats too bad. I have a really bad back and find this chair to be the most comfortable I have ever used. I like it so much I went back and bought a second one.

Real turkey hunters don't use blinds. Just ask JW and Arrowmaster.

But seriously, blinds are good in the right situation, like when your old and can't get around anymore, like JW and Arrowmaster. I say go ahead and get one. I have one just in case. They can come in handy at times, especially if you are bow hunting.

I love hunting out of a blind!! That used to be strictly how I hunted. The past few years I've changed some of my strategies and because I move around more, I hunt off the ground more. But I still find myself putting several hours in my blind. Great for rainy days for obvious reasons, but I also love the comfort of being able to move around more, sitting in a campchair and being able to stretch when I need or pull my gun up without being seen. Both are great ways to hunt!

I like hunting with my bow so a blind would be a lot of help to me. Last year where I set up the turkeys stayed just out of range. I think they kept seeing me as I would move closer to where they kept coming out and then they would come out in a the area I was at. Before I moved to the different location. In the fall though that appears to be a different story.

If you are using a shotgun, there's no need for a blind. You can if you want to, but you definately don't need to.

Now if you are bowhunting, a blind is almost manditory.

Get a blind and hunt fields. Put your blind right out in the open and watch your success rate go way up! Good luck!
