Title: Ground hunters??
Post by: Fleatrap1 on November 04, 2013, 05:24:00 PM
I have a nice brushed in burlap and natural foliage blind but the deer just aren't there in the daylight yet.  I also have a chair I sat out were I have seen a 6 pointer on more than one occasion. With the leaves falling fast my cover is getting less and less.  Which would you do bring in more foliage and brush the chair in better or improve your camp i.e. ghille suit or such?? I have on 3-D leafy camo coat and a Homemade ghille hat.

Make sure the blind is higher in the back and sides from where the deer will be coming from. That way you will blend in better. A face mask and gloves are mandantory. If you are not spotted or winded they have approached me within 5 yards two times this year.

The coat and hat should be good enough. Just use the chair and sit tight.

Just making sure I'm on the right page with my thoughts.  My chair is sat back in a little nook of briars and saplings.  They trail is about 8-10 yards in front at a slight angle away from me.  I actually enjoy sitting in the "open" more than the blind.  Thanks all, happy hunting.
