Rifle ground blinds for elk

[Wild Bill]

Although I have used natural ground blinds for deer hunting, I need protection from unpredictable late season mountainous weather during elk season. Does anyone use ground blinds for public land elk rifle elk hunts? What ground blind do you suggest?

How far do you need to pack it in? AN Ameristep weighs in at 23 pounds.

I normally need to pack in approximately 1-2 miles, just beyond the outer edge of the main hunting pressure.

My wife and kids have killed a bunch of cow elk from pop up blinds.   Mostly in thicker areas where shots would be pretty close.  Allows them to move around under the window level out of site.  Can also run a buddy heater in cold weather.  We just used whatever we could buy cheap! All shots are super steady sitting in a chair with rifle resting on bipod or tripod.

Pop ups work for every thing

We use pop-ups for elk - deer  they usually  don't  require  brushing  in . We setup a day or two before  the start and are good to go . Primos made a smaller  single person  hub style blind that's fairly  light . My wife  bought  one for me for archery  but it's to small for me to draw . I use it as a pack in blind.
