Scbasshunter Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I decided to place my ground blind on the edge of a soybean field. It isn't out in the open, but it isn't so covered up that you can't tell what it is. I brushed it in, but i probably could have done better. I have 2 weeks before I will be able to hunt it. If the deer see it tonight and spook, will they be gone for good, or will they eventually get used to it and come back to the soybean field? It is buck only during archery if that matters to this question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 If you can stay away from it, you might have good luck. Do you have any pics of it ? too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scbasshunter Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 No pics, but I won't even be back in the same county for 2 weeks! Haha! I feel like once the deer realize it hasn't bothered them for a few days/nights, they will get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 It generally takes a week or so before deer get used to a commercial blind. They may even get used to it in a few days since you brushed it up some. Even if they spook tonight they aren't going to spook bad enough to quit feeding there. Chances are they will just keep their distance from it until they decide there's no danger there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scbasshunter Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) So I should probably be good for bow season in 2 weeks? Also, if a buck comes out on the other side of the field, will grunting bring him closer or is it too early even for grunting since they are still in bachelor groups?

Rhino Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 So I should probably be good for bow season in 2 weeks. I think so. I build natural blinds (I'm old school) but I usually don't brush mine up until a week or so before the season. Also, if a buck comes out on the other side of the field, will grunting bring him closer or is it too early even for grunting? I personally wouldn't risk it that early in the season. Some people may disagree with me but I'd opt to be conservative with any calling that early. BTW...If you don't shoot one and there are deer in the field when time runs out, you should be prepared to sneek out the back & cut through cover so they don't peg you getting out of the blind. If you can get out of the area without using the field at all to exit that's even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scbasshunter Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 The blind is in a line of trees/bushes between 2 fields. The field behind me is not in the area i can hunt in august. I should be able to get out of the back of the blind and walk back to my truck behind the trees. The only problem would be if there are deer in the field behind me.

whitetailfreak55 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I just set one of my blinds out too. Nice little pinch point between two bean fields. Set the camera out too with some trophy rock hopefully get some pictures of the Buck I passed up last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scbasshunter Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I guess I could have baited them but they will be in a soybean field so they will have more than enough food. Haha! Plus living 2 hours away makes it hard to use a camera. Good luck with the blind! This will be my first time hunting in a blind and first year being serious with a bow.
