Hunting Blinds: 5 Fast Facts

Fact #1. Choosing the right hunting blind depends on the type of animal you're after. A low, compact blind might be great for a single hunter using a long arm to hunt for deer. However, it'll be next to useless for the bow hunter who needs space for a larger weapon, or for a group of hunters. Consider the shooting position you're most comfortable with, then choose a blind based on that stance.
Fact #2. Most hunting blinds can be modified. If you get one made with a ripstop material, you can cut an extra slot or window into it if you'd like. A lot of hunting blinds are relatively lightweight and easy to carry into the woods or along the shore of a lake. You should still consider the size and weight of a prospective blind. Every pound adds up when you're carrying your gear on your back.
Fact #3. The location of your hunting blind depends on the type of animal you're hunting and on variables like terrain and season. Be sure to watch out for everything from snow falling off branches to reduced or enhanced range of vision based on the season's foliage. Even more important than choosing a spot, though, is making that spot known. Make sure to communicate the proposed location to everyone in your hunting party. Also talk with any hikers or campers you know to be in the field.
Fact #4. Make a part of your hunting blind visible by draping it with an orange blaze. Chances are good that your quarry won't be able to see the orange. Deer, for example, are unable to distinguish red, green, or orange. Remember that hunting blinds are not tents. Most have minimal structural integrity. They cannot stand up to snow load, high winds, or heavy rains.
Fact #5. When possible, set up your hunting blind well before you will even occupy it. If you can set it up days or even a week before you plan to hunt, animals in the area will get used to it. Once they're accustomed to it, they'll come closer and reduce their wariness. This makes them easier targets.
