Ground blind pics

[drkillemquick]

Hey everybody, Just bought a primos vision ground blind. I was wondering if anybody has pics of any ground blinds in the field to show how they blend the blinds into the landscape. Curious to see some different ways of setting them up!

I dont have any pics of mine but I just cut out a little patch on the edge of a field to set it there. Then I brushed in the blind by putting some in front of it and putting a little brush on the top of the blind. I think it worked pretty well too.

My only pic, its an Eastman pop up.

Did you put netting on your blind or is that part of the blind, Did the turkeys pay any attention to it?

Unlike deer, turkeys pretty much ignore blinds.

That's a great pic, What tricks have you used for deer? Do the kids come out with you for deer season. I got my blind mostly so my son can come with me, and hopefully see something.

FunIts fun to be creative. I have harvested many out of this cheaper blind.

My biggest trick is to leave the front window open 24/7 so that the deer get used to it that way. No black hole affect. Two, everyone wear black from the waist up (hat, facemask, jacket). Do not open any other windows unless you absolutely have to. It lights up the inside. Make sure that your blind does not face the sun, again so it does not light up the inside. Mine faces the north.

ABSOLUTELY!! Go look in my gallery, I have a few pics of them. One thing I might suggest, if you look at my above picture again, the side of the window that my son is standing on, I hang the screen material that comes with the blind. When you have a deer 20 yards in front of their nose, they cannot keep their heads still. It will hide their subtle motions. I have more fun sitting the blind with them than hunting with my buddies.

The leafy netting came with the blind , and the turkey pay no mind whatsoever to it.

Sad part is blinds have to be left out all the time for most deer to get use to it. Always been my exsperiance.

So true, and one of the best tips anyone can give.

Only if they are in the wide open. In the woods or on the edge of the field brushed in like they should BE, the deer will trip over you. Color contrast is what catches the deer eyes. Break the silhouette of the blind the best you can. That is key when using a game blind for deer hunting.

Here is a pic of our game blind this past NY 2010 turkey season. We took 2 big mature gobblers from this blind. The last one at 11 yards. Be advised that this set up wont fly during bow season as the color contrast between the blind and surrounding landscape is way, WAY off. Although I had a deer walk in from behind me and bed down for 4 hours within 30 yards of the blind.

If you care to watch the video of the last bird shot this past season from our Doghouse blind, here it is.

PS: I am filming through the mesh screen so don't go full view on the video........

Pictures of my Ghostblind set up. No brushing required. :shifty: It doesn't protect you from the weather like a pop-up blind though.

The middle picture is the only pic I can immediately pick-up on (see blind). I need to find a lighter and cheaper version of the Ghost blind, to use in front of my Doghouse blind, to help eliminate brushing in.

[Ethan Givan]

Wow those Ghostblinds are really hard to see.

I dont hunt out of a blind much because I feel like my ability to see is restricted. Ive missed opportunities at deer when bow hunting from a blind because I couldnt see them until they were right on top of me and I couldnt draw back without spooking them.

Also a problem I have while trying to bow hunt from a blind is having enough room to draw back. I have long arms and when I draw back my bow the front of the bow is only a few inches from the window and my elbow of my release arm is shoved into the back of the blind. This is why i rarely use one for deer. Turkey hunting is the only time they are practical for me. Guess I need to buy a bigger one.

Though many have been done here are the only pics I've taken of one ground blind setup.

Pic's are from different angles during the process.

for turkeys just pop up the blind anywhere.....they pay virtually no attention to them.

Deer will spook from them......so either brush them in or put them up early and let the deer get use to them.
