ground blinds
#2
There are several real nice blinds that can be had. I have quite a few different blinds and have found that for me a hub style blind is best. It is more stable in the wind and offers more room than the other style blinds.
I've been in a Double Bull blind but i don't own one. They are the best quality blind i have been in but thay are also the most expensive.
I have a couple Ameristep Brickhouse blinds. They generally run around $159-179 but i have seen them and picked them up for as little as $99 (rare). They offer a hub style, plenty of room, plenty of window space with a good high to low shooting range.
I also have a Ground Max Vision blind that i picked up for $159 ($179 on sale at Dicks Sporting Goods with a $20 coupon) It is also a hub style, has magnetic windows with string loop attachments. 360 vision and great high to low shooting range. I have only used this blind twice so far but it offers all the features like

I have hunted in many different ground blinds and the best one thatI hunted out of was a natural brush blind with a camo burlap around me with a good set of rain gear. bought blinds stick out like a sore thumb and make too much noise also limit your option of shots.

I have been reading this forum for awhile but actually haven't posted until now. I prefer to hunt out of a treestand but with my climber I am limited only to certain trees. To hunt in a certain area I am forced to use my ground blind. The problem I have been having for bowhunting is that the deer get nervous when seeing the ground blind and won't come close enough for a shot. I have heard before that they don't like them and that you should brush in your blind. I would do that but I am afraid to leave my blind there permanently to brush it in because it might get stolen. When I get there to hunt I don't want to take the time or make the noise to cut branches to brush it in. Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions? This is only my third year dear hunting and I am learning more each year.

First clean the ground that your ground blind will sit on clear all the leaves. There is plenty of fallen brush and sticks to use for cover also camo burlap is a great cover for ground blinds it is dull and no noise. make sure you are not putting your blind right on the edge of a field or in the opening in the woods. after the blind is constructed walk about 40 yards away from the blind and see if it sticks out. Best to do this on a day when you are not hunting. try to set up a day before the hunt. Plus you dont have to worry about things getting stolen because it is an inexpensive set up. use sent blocker and make sure your not down wind! Try to construct blind all around you and sit low only to expose your head.
