Eddie234 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 If you read my last post you know I got busted by a turkey, I was wondering if small portable ground blinds are a good investment? I found one at Cablea's for $14.00 that's 6' X 27". I figure it may help cover my movement if I don't have a lot of cover where I'm able to set up. Any opinions?

maytom Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I picked up that size of blind last year, and I decided that 6' wasn't enough cover for the sides. So I bought a 12' X 27" model this season by Primos. I carry both with me for the ultimate surround cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I won an Ameristep "something-or-other" at an NWTF banquet last year. I put it up this spring overlooking a field. It ain't my style at all. I guess the only good thing about it was that I got to hunt dry one really rainy day where otherwise I'd have stayed home or taken a soaking. But blind hunting just ain't my bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13littleones Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 If it's wide open and no cover.... I will break off some branchs and use them as a blind...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I use one sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambuscher Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I like using them in bad weather. You can stay nice and dry and see things that most people won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA_RIDGE_RUNNER Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I have used a burlap type of cloth hung on stakes several times and this was in a fencerow with little cover. Got turkeys with that setup. Have also hunted out of a regular blind and got a turkey with that setup. I own an Ameristep chair blind and have used it several times and had turkeys within 10 yards and not noticed me. I usually only use a blind when no other cover is near or the weather may turn bad. If you use a bow a blind is nearly a necessity because of the movement required to draw a bow. Most times I prefer to sit against a large tree and use one of those short legged seats.

Eddie234 Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Well thanks for all the post, I bought a Primos 12ft stake out. It folds up small, I'll have to take it with me and use it a few time to see how I like it. set it up in the back yard and seem to be pretty good. We'll see.

redbeard Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 To each his own but I hate blinds. Too cumbersome to carry 'round and I could never get it just right and I'm way to big to fit in any tents on the market today. Me, I like just sittin' up against a big ol' fat tree.

Ohiobucks Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I use the Ameristep Doghouse when I'm turkey hunting with the kids, but when I'm alone, I'm sitting next to a big tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
