How to make your ground blind from natural surroundings

How to find the right location

•First you need to find a location where the wind will be blowing your scent away from deer trails or bedding. It has to be a spot where you can see and i recommend trying a couple different angles til you find a good spot to shoot from.

•Second is to look around at the vegetation and try to find matching colors from surrounding plants that will match where your going to sit


How to choose the right grond blind to build

Look at the 2 blinds to the right

•The top right is a blind made between planted pines, it over looks a food plot that has lots of close contact with deer and turkey. It was made from vines and browse found between pine rows. This was a very productive stand last year but pictures do it little justice, there's a small tree to rest your back and a nice view thru a small hole.

•The log cabin ground blind to the right was built from dead logs laying around. After you stack these high enough so you can just see eyes above, make sure you can rest comfortable against the tree. Now you see the small greenery in the back ground cut enough and lay it over the logs till it bends in. This hunting blind was along a swamp with a large hill of down trees at one side funneling deer about 70-100yds; in front.

Things to keep in mind

Make sure your concealed

•Make sure that your clothing and camo matches your surroundings, you want to blend with nature as much as possible. A good tip to help cover your scent is move some dirt and damp leaves from the area over your legs.

•When hunting from a ground blind always keep movements to a minimum, this is why you want as little as possible visible so you can move your hands and feet a little without being seen.
