azdesert rat Report post Posted December 30, 2009 is it just me or has every 1 gone to some kinde of synthetic blinde, it may just b me but i think its kinda the easy way out (opinion), instead of cuting brush and buildin from whats around? dont get me wrong i dont have a problem with pepole using them, it just seem like pepole have forgoten how to do it the old school way, i havent seen a fresh blinde in a couple years. i dont know maby its just me being hard headed about switching, i just havent heard any one talkin about it, so i thalt id mention it and see what pepole had to say Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garage Logic Report post Posted December 30, 2009 I use a Primos GroundMax... You can call it the easy way if you want; I call it convenience. I can strap my blind on my pack, set it up in 2 minutes and then brush it in. Convenience is anything that is intended to save time, energy or frustration. There is a reason everyone is using them, because they are just that.... convenient Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elpepe25 Report post Posted December 30, 2009 They conceal you/movement better. And sometimes its unlawful to cut vegetation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyingW Report post Posted December 30, 2009 They are convenient and great when you're exploring new area and decide to make a stand out on the trail . I have an area I hunt in particular only a couple times a year (due to the distance) and I would much rather pack a blind in and out of there than have to make several trips in there hanging and pulling stands.

bobbyo Report post Posted December 30, 2009 Just an opinion, but maybe people got tired of seeing a bunch of NATURAL blinds beautifying water tanks and such. The addition of plywood and pallets also adds to this natural beauty. I guess when I take down my synthetic blind I am not adding anything to the natural beauty of the land.

azdesert rat Report post Posted December 30, 2009 i agree that pepole using pallets is an ugly way to do it, especaly since they never remove them, but if the blinde is built right it should look natural and not obvious or "adding to the natural beauty of a tank", and as far as cuting brush i keep away from it as much as posible, using mostly dead brush and maby a few small leafy branches usualy weeds, grass, or ferns, plants that will die and regrow durin the year. dont the criters get a lil leary of a pop up considering 1 day thers a small tree and the next thers what apears to be a giant mass of brush?
