Hagmeister Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I know you are suppose to put out a ground blind out for a while before you hunt from it. The hard part is that to many people hunt the private land that I currently hunt. I am afraid that it will come up missing. Is it okay to put it up the same day you hunt? or is it a waste of time?

redkneck Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 As long as it's scent free and you brush it up a little with some cover I think you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Country Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I tried that the other day...every deer that passed by noticed the blind and went on alert...only one doe snorted (and a spike buck was curious enough to walk up and stick his head in to say hello)... My father has had good luck with blinds, but he puts it in a week before the season opens, brushes it up and leaves it all season...so the deer are used to it...

Hagmeister Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Thanks for the input. I appreciate all the information and tips. I prefer to hunt from the tree but my son does not like heights and does not want to go up in the tree. So I was hoping this might work. We have tried hunting on the ground with natural blinds but that has not worked yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 You need to brush it in real well and watch the wind. You should have success then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintlock1776 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I have put my Double Bull Blinds ( Matrix Recurve; T2; and Gun-hunters blind) unbrushed the same day I hunt. I have done this in several sates and no issues. I have had deer within 3 yards of my blind, and one brushed up against i when spooked by a coyote. They never gave my blind a 2nd thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetailfreak55 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I always put mine out when i hang stands. At least two months before season. Im sure its ok to put it out whenever with it being scent free and brushed in good. I just like the feeling of extra security lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
