Have any of you guys ever successfully bow killed out of a ground blind on whitetail deer?
I have a couple blinds...don't use them much because every time I have ever seen deer while hunting out of one of them, they bow up and stop like they've seen a pink elephant and about come out of their skin stomping and snorting. I've tried them brushed in...have tried putting them out for a few weeks ahead of time of hunting out of them. The one deer I have killed out of a blind was with a muzzleloader after leaving it out from archery to muzzleloader...and the deer came down through the woods...knew it was there, and tried to skirt around it. The closest it got was about 80 yards and was jumpy the whole time...til I shot it. No way I could have done it with a bow.
I tried it the other evening here at the house...I normally sit on a 5 gallon bucket behind a big round bale of hay...have had them come to within 25 yards of me on that bucket and never knew I was in the world. I have video'ed them from there. I set the blind up beside the bale of hay...brushed it in with some tree limbs. Yet every deer that started to come out in the field would stop...look to see if there was any danger in the field...look right at the blind, and snort and snort and be gone. I started talking to some of my buddies about it...they've ran into the same thing. They say a turkey don't mind a blind at all, but they have never killed a deer out of a blind.
I see them do it on TV...but those may be fenced in deer for all I know. LOL These TN wild ones don't seem to like them around here. What about you guys? Successes? Stories of things gone wrong?
