Do Penn. deer like 'Que?

[racking up points]

Kill 'em and grill 'em, LBJ! Deer always spook at our pop up blinds when we set them too close to the start or during the 1-week MZ season we hunt, I can see this blind being way more effective. But give me a tree any day of the week and I'm a happy hunter.

This year in pa hunters on ground got Bucks ...You could sit in tree no good this year..You had to have small crews sitting in trees or ground no good first time i saw this in longtime.

it was do to all the feed and pressure on what deer are left ..Deer only had to walk 30 yards from their bedding area to find food and not move until after dark..

Hey Joe,
I've been looking at those for a few years now. Is that the big one or the smaller one? How is it to get in and out of the woods? And how about the wind?

Keith ....mine is the bigger one the preditor l bought the case its not bad with the backpack you can actually hang your backpack on a hook they have. You tube "ghostblind stratagies " it will answer basically every question theres a ton of you tube videos. Anthony had one for sale a while back dont know if he sold it. These things rock where a treestand wont work .Its at its best when you can put the wind in your favor and put your back next to a deadfall or brush so they dont creep up behind you.I was able to get a nice nj 7 point this year from an island in the middle of a harvested cornfield the buck had literally no clue that i was there behind the mirrors.I dont use the tie downs usually they stay up fine on there own i will lay a stick or log leaning on it its usually enough to steady it and adds to the como effect.

Those blinds have intrigued me for a while. Is it possible that you could take a pic from about fifty yds. in front of it and post it? Sure beats setting up ground blinds!

Check out you tube guys theres about 20 videos.

[Big John]

Yep! Just watched a bunch of vid's on the Ghost blind.
The one video I actually couldn't find the blind until he pointed to it. Not bad. After knee surgery and age catch's up that's the way I'm going!

I have used one the past few years with a lot of success. They are great for places were you are unable to get a stand up or just want to do a little prospecting before using other methods.
I have the shorter version and sit in a low to the ground turkey hunting chair behind it, usually with my back to a tree or heavy brush. This allows me to hold the bow just over the top of the blind while shooting.I also wear a ghillie suit style head/ face cover for extra concealment.
They may be a little pricey but really not more than a good blind or stand. Plus you can take this with you when you walk out and nobody knows you were even there.

That is so cool!!! Really thinking outside the box!

Sometimes the mirror image seems blurry like the movie preditor but the deer dont seem to pick it out. One nite i had racoon come in and freak out when it saw itself...lt scared the crap outta me turned a silent nite into pants crapping.

In the tall version (in first post pic) you can sit in a regular size chair. In the Run N Gun version (short) either in a small chair as stated above or on the ground. Deer hunting I would want the tall version and the short for turkeys.
