IT WILL BE GONE !!! Some hunters do not respect other hunters any longer, have lost ga,e camera,s ladder stands, hang on stands, ribbons , had someone take a dump in a pop up on private land !!!

Black hole affect?

Yeah, I have left my blind with the windows down and the screen not in, mine has camo screens. I leave the side ones one, take the front one off. When I left and walked off about 50-75 yds, I could see the blind for its "Black Hole affect" of the windows left open. That's why I leave the screen up on the side windows and just use the front window 1/2 way. I leave it that way when I leave and just open it a bit more to get in. I usually just push it down and step in through the open window.

Hmmmm. I've never thought about that. I usually leave side windows and back windows up with no screen on the front window and leave the camo screens on the corner windows. I always leave that front window open at all times, so I think the deer are use to it by now.

This hunt with your boy, is it going to be a bow hunt or a gun hunt?

I used a popup ground blind yesterday. I had it in place approx. 1 hour before daylight. Here's some thoughts from that experience.

1. Leaves- you will have to move leaves from inside your blind. Very hard to do quietly so I would recommend that you do it beforehand.

2. Don't stake it down if possible. It was pitch clack when I got in it. When daylight came my view wasn't the best. I simply pushed up fin the middle and rotated it.

3. Put it up for a few days before using it.

4. Practice taking it down, If it's a popup blind, this is the hardest part.

5. wear black, not camo


I'm anxious to see what success I have with mine this year too

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.

Brush it in real good. Put blaze orange on top for added safety. That should be a rule in every state during firearms season in my opinion. Spray it with scent spray or doe urine. Don't open the windows all the way. Wear black to match the interior color. Don't leave every single window open. Be very quiet getting in because your at ground level with deer so they can hear you easier.

Make sure the chair your child will be in is tall enough for them to see & shoot through without having to strain to make the shot. Maybe a pillow or cushion on top of the seat for height & comfort. Best to test it out for any possible noise makers which can be from scooting in the chair or making any movement in it.

Brush it in, tuck it in nicely IN the edge of the woods not on the outside. Wear all black and use scent control because they smell you easier when your ground level
