lancetkenyon Report post Posted August 19, 2015 If you set up a blind, think about another camo canopy over it to shade the blind. It makes a HUGE difference. But 100° in the shade is still 100°. But at least you won't be getting the 130° direct sunlight turning your blind into a solar oven. If you can get there a week (or more if you scout) early, and know where you plan to sit for the entire hunt, dig a 2-3' deep hole and set you blind lower in the dirt. That helps too. Berm it up behind you and it is easy to push back in the hole when you are done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattys281 Report post Posted August 20, 2015 Ive only hunted in a pop up once for just this reason. Slow cooking is great for a roast, not so much for my butt. If im hunting on the ground I use a saw and a piece of camo clothplus some string to construct curtain blinds. They dont offer as much concealment and you have to be careful moving into shooting position and drawing, but using these plus my ghilliie shirt has gotten me within 10 ft of deer on more than one occasion. All day sits are much nicer if you can feel the breeze on you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ron G. Report post Posted August 21, 2015 If you're able to bring a small ice chest with you into the blind, put 4-5 ice cubes in zip loc bags and keep them on your head (under your hat). Unzip the plastic bag a bit and you can let cold water trickle down the back of your neck also. 4-5 ice cubes will only last ~30-40 mins, so plan accordingly. If sitting all day you might need a big ice chest to carry enough ice bags... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are where you can bring an ice chest and ice make it into a redneck AC Cooler ... throw in a couple blocks and loose with some cold drinks .... those things will drop a 6x6 blind temp down 20+ degrees ...
