HIDE AND HUNT (HUNTING & TRAPPING)

To be successful at hunting, you have to make sure you aren’t discovered by your prey. One way to stay hidden is by using a hunting blind.
Hunting blinds come in many shapes and sizes, but they all have one thing in common – they help hide the hunter. You can buy a hunting blind or make your own. Some are permanent, and others can be easily moved. Hunters use blinds when hunting different animals, including waterfowl, turkey, bear and deer.

1. TOWER BLINDS
Raises you up above you prey, giving you a better view, and allowing you to shoot downward for safety.
– Place it in such a way that it blends into the landscape; the goal is to stay hidden.
2. TREE STANDS
Different from a blind, stands work by elevating the hunter up and out of animals regular sight range. Always use a safety harness when hunting from a tree.
– Place your blind where animals regularly travel between food, water and sleeping ares.
3. LAYOUT BLINDS
Looks like a sleeping bag and helps to keep you hidden from flying waterfowl when hunting in a field.
4. POP-UP BLINDS
Lightweight blinds pop up when you need them; can be easily folded and taken to a new place.
5. DUCK BLINDS
Designed for use in or around water; can be temporary or permanent and can even be large enough to hide a boat
– Blinds let hunters move around a little and not have to be so still.
6. BOX BLINDS
Designed to hide you from prey as well as protect you from the elements
7. BRUSH PILE BLINDS
Built out of sticks and brush from the forest flor; built to look like forest debris.
