Ground Blinds

Batman,
As I sat there cursing because I forgot my seat today I had thought the same thing about just shooting through the screen. Good idea. I guess I was too damn cheap to ruin a $35.00 blind. Forget the seat and it can get uncomfortable.

I used my blind two weeks ago to bust my very first doe ever. It is great to use for a couple reasons but also has LOTS of negatives to it. I guess it is all in what want your hunt to be like.

I had one blind tied down in the woods for almost 1 1/2 years and this year someone trespassing stole it. I got it at a yard sale for 15 bucks so really can't complain just mad that someone would steal it.

That sucks,did you happen to have a trail cam in the area.It would be cool to have pics on it of the jack a$$ that stole it.

If you leave them in place, doesn't the wind or falling limbs or some such damage them?

I've had mine up for a few weeks now. I've never seen anyone hunting in there before but I put a note inside it saying if they wanted to take it fine...I'd just take their picture off the trail cam and catch up with them later. I don't really have a trail cam set up there but they don't know that.

No trail cams it's property I have hunted all my life so I know were the deer move. Wish I had one. I think it was the neighbors kid but not sure.

Maybe I should have done this but my property borders all of my other families property and the dreaded neighbors. I have caught him on his ATV riding on my property while I was in my stand. I told him he couldn't be riding all over my property. He said sorry but I still think it was him.

Not only did he take your blind but he ruined a good sit in the stand. Time to flatten his tires.

Not sure it was him, I think it was but not sure. Nah on the flat tires. I guess I will be going to Wal-Mart and get me a blind unless someone knows were I can get a better deal on one. I have several spots were ground blinds work better that tree stands so I need another one.
