Hiding Box Blinds and Stands So Deer Don't Disappear

[@robertduguay689]

Really love the design of that food plot. Makes great sence.

[@ejo6371]

Much respect to hunters that actually get out and scout, stalk, and hunt. Shooting houses are super challenging hunting, lol!

[@stevedenoyer5956]

Good video Randy, so important!

[@shelleylegros8153]

As usual Randy great video and informative

[@dannjohnsonZ28]

Great video. Short and informative. Love the commentary 👍

[@thedryairguy9005]

Awesome video, great food for thought as hunters set up for next season

[@JohnGodwin-i7u]

Finally someone with a brain. Seems like folks are more concerned with being Cool than using common sense. Anything that gives a deer a sense of security is money. Great job!

Some camo netting on the stair railing would give you some Cover

[@ozarked2363]

We built a blind like that on our land. It looks out over a field that’s a quarter mile long. We just sit on top of an open platform with a rail for a shooting rest. The deer know we’re there, but they don’t care until they get within about 80 yards. We’ve killed a 13 pt., an 11 pt., and multiple 8 pt. bucks from it. I saw 2 large bucks fight in it one night about 30 minutes after legal shooting hours. We just never worried about camouflaging the ladder. I doesn’t seem to matter for rifle hunting.

For sure.

This was great! Got my subscription

[@curtb.9450]

I cant see doing all that work being worth it just to not get seen from the feild because the deer will bed down in the brush around the blind and you wont even know their in their

[@deerhunter7482]

Skirt the steps with silt fence and paint as needed .bend over at the waist going to and fro to the Stand

[@bullgravy6906]

So all you need to kill trophy bucks is hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment or labor, and a few million dollars worth of land?

How tall does miscanthus grass get

[@RandyVanderVeen]

12' to 15' tall

[@MJ74NC]

Good video....I enjoy your content. Have you ever worked in areas of the Southeast like N.C., S.C or GA? Just curious how well all this works on places with long gun seasons and dog hunting pressure on neighboring lands.

[@RandyVanderVeen]

Several times in GA. The more hunting pressure there is, the more important these strategies are.

[@MJ74NC]

@@RandyVanderVeen thx for the reply......would be nice to see some videos from the Southeast.

I have just a hub style ground blind in a small wood patch, its been there for 5 years. I keep the windows closed off season but leave them open during hunting season. Most if the does are resident and don't pay any attention to it, once in a while one will look towards it and see if any movement then go on. But its there for traveling bucks because they all come thru that small wood lot looking for does. I come in from behind it and it has cedars all behind it and I brush in the front every season .. this is a deadly setup and i take a mature buck or 2 there every season.

[@ronmobley2819]

And I just go out and sit at the base of a tree on the edge of the river bottom. Silly me...

[@thewhiteknight02]

High Octane deer.

[@stanleybuck4195]

The stairway is way too big. Windows should not be covered by wood, only glass so they don't look different.

[@DC_PRL]

you don't open and close windows. deer will notice a difference. I have my blind windows cracked open for a duration of the hunting season.

[@jcraigshelton]

Nah. I can sit under a tree on a folding chair in a pair of blue jeans and a T-shirt and harvest a deer. People tend to way overthink this stuff. They don’t care about the box, the windows, or what they look like.

[@DC_PRL]

@@jcraigshelton i hunt public land with an Xbow, pressured deer. they will notice an open window, they recognize patterns.

[@georgesakellaropoulos8162]

A friend of mine took a different approach. He made reasonable efforts to hide his elevated blind, then he went one step further. He dug a tunnel from the nearest cover to directly under the blind where he built a completely enclosed ladder. Nothing ever sees him enter or leave the blind.

[@integr8er66]

Absolutely ridiculous considering deer walk right up to me on my tractor when I'm in the field.

[@georgesakellaropoulos8162]

@@integr8er66 They know the difference between you on the tractor making a living and someone sitting still at the edge of the field who might pose a threat.

[@integr8er66]

@@georgesakellaropoulos8162 Ya, I agree, that's why I don't sneek around. Walk like you don't care, take a lawn chair walk right out there and sit down with lunch and a cooler.

[@bigal25938]

Don’t need to hide anything.

[@bobwalton3642]

Why don’t you just move in to the blind stay there thru hunting season

[@hunterbiden001]

here on our farm nothing bothers the deers. That doe was just looking around and not at your blind.
