Question:
Do you have any good ideas or a homemade hunting blind?
Answer:
This might be an odd suggestion, but my favorite ground blind is
a comfortable chair or bucket/chair. Why? Because the biggest problem
I've found with setting up on the ground is not finding cover, but being
comfortable enough to be able to sit still for long periods of
time without moving.
The other part is positioning yourself so that you blend into
the background. I've usually used ground stands on the edges of
fields where there is deer activity, and try to position myself
off to the side of a trail or set of trails, so I'm not too
close to the deer moving. I've even just sat on the ground with my
back up against a stump, and had fawns walk up and virtually sniff mme ,
trying to figure out what I was. Of course I was wearing camo at the
time.
One of my favorite ground blinds wasn't portable, but three round bales
of hay that a farmer had left behind on the edge of a field a couple of
months earlier. They formed a U shape that I could sit in the middle
of, and just peer over the top of the bales to watch the field.
