Pop Up Hunting Blind?
I only bring mine if the weather looks ify for rain when turkey hunting usually I just bring my hand snips and create a natural blind what do you use and why?

thy have the pop up doghouse on sale for 69$ at walmart DUTCH
I've considered getting a ground blind, but I really love logs. Some might say I have an obsession. I see a fallen treetop in the woods as a new stand site. I like to clear out a spot amongst the branches and sit right up in the middle of it. Rig up a shooting rest, add more limbs for cover, camo up and you're all set.
Nothing beats being at ground level with a nice buck in bow range.

popup hunting blind
I have always used the natural cover --- downed tree top,large tree, heavy goldenrod growth, fenceline shrubbery as my back drop. I add as need be to suit the situation. I have just purchased the pop up doghouse blind to use for inclimate weather -- rain, snow and/or wind. I am interested in knowing if turkeys are that sharp in recognizing the blind not hear today but hear the next day. In the daily put up and take down use I have been planning to place additional natural material with the blind to help blend it in to the surroundings both for spring turkey as well as for fall deer.
From any personal experience I am open for any comments on this approach.

I have a doghouse blind and have good luck with it. I put it in a week or two early to let the birds get used to it. I have had turkeys with in inches. Deer more cautious but I had them under 15 yards. Real nice in rain and with the kids.

Very well said!Doe Master wrote: I guess everthing has it`s time and place . When bow hunting a predictable bird with decoys ,then my doghouse . But with the scattergun hunting the unknown then the run and gun approach .
Hurry hurry he`s coming he`s coming got to find the most uncomfortable tree in the WHOLE bush .
I like the Doghouse if I can predict a good set-up location, but if it's "run & gun" I can usually pick a tree that is comfortable to set against - until I hear a turkey answer my call!

Thanks for the input. I am looking forward to giving it a try this year so I will keep your methods in mind.
I am hoping it will be an asset for my daughter for turkeys.

ive been using a blind for 5 years now for archery hunting turkeys.i have not had any problems with turkeys getting use to the blind,and some times i have the game camera out,showing them 5 feet from it.I have shot 2 huge birds at 25lbs,one being michigans largest turkey ever shot with a bow.its in my picture.
i had one old wise bird stay just out of bow range,he was huge,would have set another record.i hunt edge of horse ranch,and can only archery hunt.the blind works prfect,i use dog house,and eclipse blinds.
