Good info. I’ve had good success placing pop up blinds in fallen trees or tree tops. Either on a food source or a good travel corridor. Just find a downed tree and cut out a hole in the tree top big enough to accommodate the blind, then use what you cut out to brush in the blind. You can also add other vegetation just to hide it a little better. Beech nut and Autumn Olive will hold their leaves for a long time,even after being cut. Works great!

Lol, I was just going to comment that Im new to hunting...then read the other 15 comments saying the same. Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Some of the best blinds i use are no more than a piece of field fence with natural cover woven into the wire and much cheaper than the ground blinds these days happy hunting yall n be safe out there!!
Good video... Growing up I alwase had great family farms to hunt and we had stands and blinds in the same spots for years alwase seen deer and never went a season with putting something in the freezer well I'm 27 and for the first time in my life I have no private land to bind all family farms have been sold so this year I get to hunt public I use to think ik alot about hunting but now I realize I had just used the collective knolage of my family properties over generations and now that I no longer can hunt there I feel like a fish outta water on public
Been looking for good advice on blind hunting, I’m new to it, used to stand hunt but not a great option anymore but I’m not willing to give up hunting. So thanks.
Brough Siff ground hunting can definitely be a more exciting way to hunt but if you are not set up right it can get you busted alot easier too. Good luck this season! 💯
Definitely looking into the ghost blind, it’s my first year hunting and I’ll be on public land. Seems like the perfect alternative to hunting since it’s lightweight and mobile. Looking forward to more videos, thanks!
Z Bob I hunt public land alot and that is one of the main reasons I use the GhostBlind is the fact that it is light weight and mobile compared to lugging a stand around. I liked it so much that I became a Pro Staffer for them. If you decide to buy one then you can use my code CJ15 at checkout and get 15% off. Good luck to you on your new hunting journey! 💯
Chad Alan Jones I like the video and I agree with you on the ghost blind I need to get one of them and this video helped me to see what the difference looks like. I hunt northern New Hampshire on private land that is in front of federal forest so I do have options. I hunt with bow and rifle as well. My main job is Assembly at Sig Sauer in Newington New Hampshire. I’m in the process of becoming a rifle armor. I have a TH-cam channel too if u like check it out. And from one Chad to another Chad I wish u luck this year hunting!
Armstrong outdoors Z I appreciate it! That is great to hear! I hunt public land alot as well and the ghost blind is perfect when I can’t use permanent stands or climbers. If I have to sit on the ground then it’s hands down the best option for me. Good luck this coming season buddy and I gave you a sub back!
You know I've watched them deer studies and they are saying you know you can throw a pop-up or anything like that out brush it in or not brush it in but they say the smartest oldest buck in the woods after you had it out say a pop-up blind for 7-days the oldest buck in the woods will walk right by it like it's not even there as long as they don't smell human or they think it's a threat
Yep I've seen this for many yrs had a blind in a small area I hunt so left a blind there most of the season within a few days the deer were walking within 15 feet of it secret is scent control imo
Thank you! Getting ready for my first hunting season that just started. Starting out in archery. Dumb question..... does the pop up blind help hind scent better or can deer still smell you in there like with a ghostblind?
I love hunting from ground blinds and I hate hunting from ground blinds I've killed dozens of deer from ground blinds, but I've also missed a couple due to hitting the edge of one of the windows. It happened again 2 days ago on a really nice 8-point I had him dead to rights at 20 yards let the arrow fly and then watched the lighted nocks skip right off his. Not knowing what happened, right away I looked at the edge of the blind window and saw a small cut or the arrow had nicked it , just enough to deflect the arrow. The windows are those sort of upside down triangles if I had let him walk one or two more steps he would have been mine. I had a teeny bit of fat on the end of The arrow a little piece of skin and there was a lot of dark hair on the ground. I'm basically gave him a haircut nothing more. Maybe it happened for a reason as I know there are some bigger bucks on my farm.
Used a pop up last min this season so many errors i learned in one outing Wear black in blind not camo Brush in more then u think u need Clear ground under if possible or lay blanket to silent movement Just a few practice from blind to learn restricted range of motion Did beet getting rained on for hours on end plus passed on a couple good shots on smaller rack deer so it would def work no doubt
I haven't had any problems with my ground blind I shot a 10 point buck on a new hunting spot the day I set it up. That being said the earlier you put a pop up blind out the better just like a new stand. Put it up in july or August and the deer get time to get used to it
It really depends on how pressured the deer are in your area and how well you brush it in. If you can conceal it well enough you will probably be fine but if and the deer see it they will probably avoid it.
@@ChadAlanJones I will ne able to conceal really good and they are not pressured on the side I hunt on. I'm the only one that hunts on the side I'm on.
Ohhh man… that’s not good. I would at least place some leaves and small limbs one the top to help break up the pattern. That way other hunters can still see it but can help conceal the profile from the deer. Good luck!
Ive had better luck with my bow and crossbow in ground blinds and ghost blinds then I do up in a tree. Ive been busted moving...or a noise from the stand or I just cant take the cold on an all day sit....especially the older I get. I bought a millenium stand and that made it better...but is so comfortable I fall asleep LOL....
Hey Chad. I've killed deer out of a ground blind made of camo burlap and put up months before the season opened but answer a question for me please. Can you walk in at 5:00 AM, pop one up and just hunt or is that a waste of time? I'm sure having it set up weeks b4 you hunt it is the way to go but ever though I have 20 or so fixed tree stands sometimes a spot just begs to be hunted.
Moldering One I wouldn’t recommend putting a pop up blind out and hunting from it that same day unless you place it in a really thick area and brush it in extremely well and at that point you have put tons of scent in the area by walking around cutting limbs to brush it in. Plus the blind itself will have scent unless you have kept it outside already. Situations like that I prefer the ghostblind because I can carry it in with me and set it up in a spot that I like without a need to brush it in. Plus if the wind changes directions I can quickly move it to another location compared to the pop up that I would have to move and brush in again. Mature deer will always notice something that looks out of place so I would go with the option that is the hardest to see. Hope that helps!
If you are planning to use a pop up blind then just make sure you brush it in really well and the deer will get used to it pretty fast. It you just sit it out in the open then it may take a while and mature bucks may not come back around it at all.
@@ChadAlanJones ok ty, I have it tucked in under a cedar tree where I have about a pretty good field of view. It will have been set up without use for about a week by time I go up to hunt. was checking if that would be enough time.
My experience is that the does and young bucks get used to the popup blind pretty quick but the mature bucks stay clear of it. Which is why I have to brush it in really well or use the ghostblind. I know it’s different for everyone depending on where you hunt.
Not true I have sat or stand and killed several deer by leaning up against tree with no cover and missed a few also in my younger days Haven't hunted in many yrs though I will be starting this week again

I hear ya. Hunting public land where the deer a heavily pressured is a whole other ballgame.

Deer can still smell you even with most of the windows closed.
@@ChadAlanJones , ok thank you
Started hunting out of ground blinds 3 years ago. Once you get it figured out, have way more success than climbing a tree.
I love hunting from ground blinds and I hate hunting from ground blinds

Used a pop up last min this season so many errors i learned in one outing
Wear black in blind not camo
Brush in more then u think u need
Clear ground under if possible or lay blanket to silent movement
Just a few practice from blind to learn restricted range of motion
Did beet getting rained on for hours on end plus passed on a couple good shots on smaller rack deer so it would def work no doubt
For sure brother! We all learn from the mistakes we make! Good luck the season. 🤜🏻💯
That’s good man. Best advise I can give you is blend in all the corners. That’s a big thing that I’ve found out. Be as dark as you can.
I love it
I haven't had any problems with my ground blind I shot a 10 point buck on a new hunting spot the day I set it up. That being said the earlier you put a pop up blind out the better just like a new stand. Put it up in july or August and the deer get time to get used to it
Agreed! Congrats on your buck and good luck this season!
@@ChadAlanJones same to you
Could i set my ground blind up now and hunt out of it in a couple of days or will that be too soon to hunt out out it
It really depends on how pressured the deer are in your area and how well you brush it in. If you can conceal it well enough you will probably be fine but if and the deer see it they will probably avoid it.
@@ChadAlanJones I will ne able to conceal really good and they are not pressured on the side I hunt on. I'm the only one that hunts on the side I'm on.
In Pennsylvania we have to place a blaze orange cover on the top of our pop-up ground blinds. Kind of takes away the inconspicuousness of the blind.
Ohhh man… that’s not good. I would at least place some leaves and small limbs one the top to help break up the pattern. That way other hunters can still see it but can help conceal the profile from the deer. Good luck!
Apparently deers have a hard time seeing orange. U should be fine
That’s so the PA game wardens can easily find you and hopefully fine you
Ive had better luck with my bow and crossbow in ground blinds and ghost blinds then I do up in a tree. Ive been busted moving...or a noise from the stand or I just cant take the cold on an all day sit....especially the older I get.

I know what you mean! Gotta go with whatever works best for you! 💯
Great video 👍
Thank you sir! 🤙🏼
Best ground blind is a blown down tree or a thick natural area.
I agree with that!

Just learned the hard way your pin may not reflect placement of arrow
In a blind i put pin on it and shot a hole through material.
True! I wouldn’t recommend shooting thru the mesh windows, especially not with mechanical broadheads.
How long would it take for deer to become more comfortable with the presence of a blind in an area that has not been hunted for over a decade?
If you are planning to use a pop up blind then just make sure you brush it in really well and the deer will get used to it pretty fast. It you just sit it out in the open then it may take a while and mature bucks may not come back around it at all.

@@jlhale1 that will probably be ok. They maybe looking at it alot though so just make sure you are not moving around and you should be good.
@@ChadAlanJones Thanks, best of luck on your hunting endeavors.
Great video, you seem to know your shit. Subbed.
I like the ghost blind, but I'm pretty sure they're illegal in Pennsylvania
Awe man… I hate to hear that!
They eventually get use to a new blind don't take long no problem.
My experience is that the does and young bucks get used to the popup blind pretty quick but the mature bucks stay clear of it. Which is why I have to brush it in really well or use the ghostblind. I know it’s different for everyone depending on where you hunt.
The sun, is it a problem??????
No. They are slightly angled down so there is not any reflection from the sun.
Not true I have sat or stand and killed several deer by leaning up against tree with no cover and missed a few also in my younger days Haven't hunted in many yrs though I will be starting this week again
Uummm uuhh ummm
