to cover or not to cover, that is the question
I am planning on hunting with a blind for the first time this season. Some people I talk to say that you have to tuck it in the brush and cut brush to put in front of it, which I guess makes sence. Others say that “brushing it in” is completely useless, they say they have set it up in open grass fields and have had turkeys feeding close enough to spit at. Are these people pulling my leg or can these blinds work just fine without going through all the extra effort of “brushing it in” as well as being limited to areas where I can tuck it into brush?

Have seen them on tv using a double blind in a wide open field and the turkeys just ignored it. Didnt bother them a bit. I guess its all about movement more than anything.

I don't see the point of cutting limbs and brush to stack around it. Why buy a camo blind if the first thing you have to do is.........camo it?[&:] I would just try to put it in the shade so there is no glare of anything.

Abuddy of mine took a bird from a blind on the edge of a field with no extra work. Just popped it up and he was set.
Another friend set up in a blind to do some scouting and it worked fine with out any extra camo. IMO set it up and you will be set.
