    The blind is easy to put up and take down. czcams.com/users/postUgkxvlQxmcZQzSQSYbJsEgAGvG2DaduKTV99 As a female hunter, the ease of placing and setting up the blind is a plus. It’s more of a wind barrier than a warm quilted blind. Which makes it a lot lighter than our quilted blind. I enjoyed the larger windows/openings. Made for a successful season. It has held up well for the first season and the stitching looks good.

    This video is so refreshing and restores my faith in humanity lol. You get quickly to the point; you're not so obsessed with hearing yourself and watching yourself to milk as much camera time as possible ha ha. These are real-world tips; all the stuff my friends and I do, but there's almost no videos with actual useful tips besides this one. At the end, you modestly claim to not be an expert and even ask for additional tips. BRAVO- well done. The hunting community needs more like you. Keep up the great work and THANKS for the great vid.

    One tip I've taught people is to take their snacks out of the loud wrappers and put them in either ziplock bags or wrap them in a paper towel to keep the noise down. It's the little things that add up to success.

    Last year I got my first kill with a bow from a ground blind. 9 point buck in full velvet. Nobody told me about wearing black, or black face paint, or only keeping one window open... I did these things instinctively because I know I tend to move around a little. My blind is clean inside, and completely invisible for the brush. I cleared out a shooting lane from the adjacent thicket with a machete and propped the blind 10 yards in the thicket. I've created a murder hole...

  • @georgemoomaw9437
    @georgemoomaw9437 Před 4 lety +22

    Great tips, thank you. For hanging your bow, if your blind won't support the weight, you can use a shepherd's hook like the ones you see in a cemetery for hanging plants.

  • @steveandrews4822
    @steveandrews4822 Před 6 lety +205

    Tip # 15--since you spent all that money on a ground blind, spend $10 to &12 more on a 3' X 4' rubber backed throw rug. Place it in the back part of the blind, where you place your stool, chair whatever, and the carpet keeps your chair from sinking into the forest floor. Also gives you a clean dry spot to set your gear or change your socks etc. !! I have one for each of my 3 blinds and have used the same rugs for 5 to 6 seasons now !!

  • @criticalreasoning2129
    @criticalreasoning2129 Před 6 lety +22

    Number one mandatory "tip" when using ground blinds is plan your safety backstop. It is much easier to choose safe shooting directions, with safe backstops, when shooting from an elevated position in a tree stand. With elevated treestands you can more easily choose safe shooting directions such that the shot has a proper backstop at an angle into the ground. It is true that you can safely shoot out of ground blinds but it is much more difficult to properly orient a ground blind to create a safe backstop. I have seen too many ground blinds set up such that the shot is across a horizontal field with only the woods as a backstop such that other hunters can be killed.

  • @danflick5302

    I have also used a Shepherds hook (for hanging plants) to hang my crossbow. You can tape the area that the bow sits with tape to keep it from making noise

    Tip#10 Lose the Camo
    Best tip ever!
    Two weeks ago in a new ground blind.
    Set up two months ago, water proofed, brushed in.
    One small window open
    Wearing camo.
    3 bucks seen 50 yards from where I could take an ethical shot. Wouldn’t come closer and they took off within 3 minutes.
    I didn’t make sound, scent control excellent. I surmised that must have seen me.
    Watched your video when I got back to town and saw tip #10.
    Bought a black long sleeve shirt, black no logo hoodie, and a black watch cap with built-in pull-down face cover.
    Went back this past weekend, put on my scent controlled washed “ninja suit”, blacked out the skin around my eyes, forehead, and bridge of nose. In blind 1 hour before sunrise.
    When I could actually see my kill zone there were FIVE bucks milling around. One walked to within 10 feet of my blind.
    Looked right at me, didn’t see me.
    Arrowed 8 pointer, 200lb at 30 yards.
    Moral of the story:
    Lose the damn camo in a ground blind!!!!

    One more thing I would advise. Ear protection when rifle hunting. You are going to key off more of what you see than what you hear. You don't shoot in a direction where you hear something. You shoot in a direction where you see something. No reason to give yourself permanent hearing damage.
