Go Blind For Deer
Heavily pressured deer often learn to look up for danger. This is why more and more hunters are discovering that tree stands don’t always work best for deer hunting. In some of the areas that I hunt, I have noticed deer spend as much time searching in trees as they do watching at ground level. The use of a ground blind can often provide for a better set up.
Most of today’s ground blinds are made for an easy and quick set up. They are light weight and come in packs equipped with shoulder straps allowing the hunter a simple carrying method. Blinds come in an assortment of camouflaged patterns that will fit into just about any hunting situation. They are made with both doors and windows that allow the hunter several choices for shot selections. In many cases, once removed from the pack, they spring up on their on. Such advances in technology certainly come in handy for the hunter.
Ground blinds can be used near travel zones, bedding areas, feeding areas, or any where else that a tree stand can be used. The one advantage obviously, is that blinds can also be placed in locations that stands can not. This provides the hunter with more choices and more opportunities at getting closer to that buck.
The main thing to remember when using a ground blind is to always hunt scent free. Take extra precautions to eliminate human odors from your body, clothing, equipment, and also the blind. Use a scent controlling product to thoroughly spray both the inside and outside of the blind.
So when the hunting gets tough from the tree, it may be time to go blind for deer. Good luck and be safe.
