Top Tips for Deer Hunting Out of a Ground Blind

5 Comments

1. Years ago a cousin fell out of a tree blind. He’s a paraplegic. Yeah I’m good with a sissy ground blind. Plus I like gun season and that does not seem like a good idea in a tree blind.

4. I bring a small peice of plush carpet and a swivel bucket seat for my blind. And I keep the bearing on that swivel WELL greased. Talk about SILENT…

5. I embraced climbing stands. I enjoyed being mobile.

   The gun climber I had was very comfortable and safe.

   I was comfortable taking an occasional nap.

   Then I started bowhunting.

   My safety harness is like my seat belt.

   Its not optional.

   The shortest I can make this is.

   Naps are a good thing.

   Better when taken on the ground.

   I have built several. Each one improving on the others.

   Comfort is the most important thing.
   Concealment and sound dampening.

   And room for two is a good thing.

   All have a roof, more for shade than shelter from rain.

   Carpet on the floor and walls.

   A shooting rail with insulation for a quiet rest.

   Nice padded swivel office chairs.

   People used to make fun of me. Until they sit in my ground blind.

   Because I typically see deer while turkey hunting.

   I have started deer hunting using the same setup.

   Shot a 7 pt walking straight to me at 20 yds.

   I haven’t figured out how to bowhunt from my ground blinds.

   Yet…
