Blind or no blind.....

[old_goat2]

It's doable without but is so so so much easier with a blind or hide of some kind. They are just so good at catching movement. Where I'm hunting this year they are coming in silent and you don't know they are there till there danger close. I have a double bull now and it's the cats meow, prior to this I had a three sided open top blind that if you knew the bird was coming you could duck down till he had fan pointed your way then you raise up and shoot while he's facing away.

Why limit yourself to one option

I've taken five.. all without a blind.  This year I made  a ghillie poncho and it worked great.   I'll use a blind at times when I take other people, but prefer to "build" my own.

Love the different opinions guys. Good solid feedback.

I'm glad you included those of us that hunt, but haven't yet killed.

I've had my best opportunities at killing turkeys in the fall, but never hunt out of a blind. I might duck into some tall river cane or behind a bush, but never actually constuct a "blind."

So far, I've had 3 or 4 real chances. I missed them all. The first time I called to a couple (and they actually came!) I took my shot at about 7 yds. and hit the ground about 2 feet short of the bird! That was the first year I hunted with a longbow, and it is still one of my favorite hunts to date, just because it felt like such an accomplishment!

Between that and a very close call after an hour long hands-and-knees stalk, I have been hooked on ground hunting with my tradbows like nothing else. I could never give it up now, no matter what the quarry!
