Box blind has produced no kills in two years. Do you continue to hunt out of it regardless of the lack of success (making a kill) OR do you brave the elements and hunt somewhere else....? pretty simple question......lol.

Let's say that trail cams show a nice buck working an area that you can not see from your box blind. Do you go to the buck or sit in the box blind and hope that he comes to you....?

Rowdy...I am going in to my 36th year deer hunting. I have hunted from box blinds on occasion, but never simply for the comfort of it. To this day, I still hunt from hang-on stands and at 53 years of age, I find it simply a part of the experience.....Just me here, but I would rather sit for days on end on the side of a tree with confidence than sit for an hour in a box blind that I have no confidence in....

fourwheeler431......for this question, SUCCESS is killing a deer.

tndrbstr.... I'll just say that all I have ever done on here is try to spark conversation and get people posting.....if there is a crime or you and others think that I consider myself a "know it all" then so be it.....

done.....

I don't have kids, but if I did, and they were interested in deer
hunting, they would be "in the woods". Not in a "shooting house".
I know kids and things have changed now days, but my Daddy took
me into the woods and showed me things about deer. I never
complained, because I was fascinated with deer and the world
they lived in.

I guess my question is this.......do you or will you sacrifice comfort for success....or.....do you most always take the road of greater comfort. I realize that many people have success hunting from heated box blinds, out of the weather. But, if you knew that you might have MORE success if you abandoned the box blind....would you? Will you stay in the box blind where the hunt is more ENJOYABLE and hope for the best or will you abandon those comforts and "get after" the deer...no matter what the conditions?

Original question at start of thread...

Now you changed it to this...


C'mon BH....LOL
Not fair to change the question after someone reply's to the original.....
As you can see...these are 2 somewhat different scenarios.....

I'm not sure what the point is other than you like to hunt on the move rather than use a blind, both can be very successful if done right and both can be very unsuccessful if done wrong.

It all depends on the child's age and personality RKenney. When my daughter was 4 or 5, she had to have coloring books or something else to entertain herself while hunting, and a shooting house was best so she could move around while we hunted. Once she got to 7 or 8, she could sit still long enough to hunt from an open stand.
