A couple of ideas that would be lightweight:
Somewhere along the line I remember somebody saying they'd improvised a blind by using a big umbrella they just opened up and sat behind. Maybe paint it green. This one is based off something I do. An old bedsheet, maybe dyed green, hung/tied/thrown over saplings or brush. I use half of an old army pup tent for this and it works fine. A sheet or even some camo cloth material from the sewing section of the department store would be lighter and easy to carry. |

So I went in and checked a teal camera out and had 2 nice bucks show up on it. So now I am planning on trying to get one of them to come in for me. I can’t climb a tree stand and lugging in a blind is not an option either. So do any of you have any tips? Thank you all..

Lots of sports stores sell a canvas camo cloth used for whatever.
It's light. Throw that and a couple bungee straps into your pack and you have a ground blind. I've shot deer from the ground with the bow. Both while sitting and still hunting. It can be done. -Jake |
Thank you everyone for the input. I have now entered into rifle season So the blind won’t be much of an issue anymore.. The last day I was bow hunting 20 minutes after I had left the area a big heavy weight 10 pointer shows up. Go figure right. So now I am trying to locate him or any of those heavy weights. So the hunt is still on..

Got a plan for getting one of those north woods fatties out of the woods?
|
I will go get some help and I have a deer carrier with those bicycle type wheels. That’s my plan if I can connect to one of them..

I do brush in my ground blinds for deer. I font for turkeys. On public land here in Wisconsin and during any rifle/deer season the ground must have 144 squares inches of blaze orange or blaze pink to be easily seen in all 4 directions while on PUBLIC land. Private you don't. I like using balsam bows placed against and over the top to help blnd it in. JW |
Thank you JW, I currently have brush piled up on three sides and a log to sit on for rifle hunting. It’s around 100 yards from the area I am watching. I am hoping one of those heavy weights show up. That big 10 pointer has been there the past few times only at night now though..
