Professional hunters select their blind based on a number of factors. One of them is portability. Larger blinds are better suited to hunters that take a vehicle to their site, not to those who hike out more than a mile or so to their spot. For the latter, there are a number of blinds with carrying straps that weigh less than 20 pounds. These are generally pop-up blinds, which can be easily assembled and usually include floors for marshy areas.Another issue to consider is the type of game. For ducks and other fowl, you may not even have to purchase a blind, as long as there’s some nearby dirt that you can pile up. For larger game (and longer hunts), you might prefer a totally enclosed blind. The benefits of an enclosed blind include having space for a heating source and minimizing movement and sound when there are multiple hunters. (more…)
