Because on most of my local season l hunt many open country or pasture birds l use the pop up blinds a good part of the season. I am not a kid. I m not handicapped . And l dont apologize for using the blind, and l dont think my turkeys are any less earned because l was in a blind. Allows me to be comfortable for the sometime long periods that are required to deal with birds that are simply not killable by leaning up against a tree because there are no trees where the birds spend the day. lt took me twenty five years to figure out that birds in open areas are for the most part not killable by old time conventional means of sitting by a tree and calling them out of open areas where they feel secure. so for the last twenty years l have made blinds an important part of the arsenal.
I do not use the blinds in woods or in steep terrain. I have hidden under a single blackberry bush two feet in diameter and killed a bird in the middle of a forty acre grass pasture but frankly it is not a very pleasant experience to try to remain motionless for a few hours.with birds in view for the whole time. My advice is to use what allows you hunt successfully with confidence, in relative comfort. If you can kill birds in the mountains or forests, and l have killed a few there
, then using a blind in open areas will make you even more deadly in areas where there is no natural cover to enable a good setup. 2 cents
