Thoughts on ground blinds.

[Captainkirk]

I absolutely despise hunting in a ground blind and will only set foot in one during spring turkey season when it is absolutely needed for me to kill a gobbler with a bow. I have found them to be hot during the early part of archery season, I can't hear well in them, and I really hate my limited vision. If I'm hunting from the ground, it's in a ghillie suit and a brush pile.

Darren, by "ground blind" I'm referring to a brush pile or blowdown and sitting on a stool behind a big tree. I can hear and see fine. I would find a tent blind confining as well...but maybe welcome in cold or windy conditions.

I bought an original Double Bull BS5 72" recurve model before Promos bought them out. I personally never liked them, but this one is way better than the noisy new stuff. I really bought it new for the son in law who couldn't sit still and it also came in handy with the grandsons. They are nice to have sometimes when you find a great spot but lousy trees or cover and to get out of the weather. I gave about $345 for it because they were and probably still are the best of the best. Maybe used half a dozen times and just sitting in storage in case anyone is interested. It's just like the one in this fellows ad.
