Out of Sight, Out of Mind: Choosing and Using Blinds and Stands Blinds and tree stands are all the rage with today's hunter. Used for almost all big game species, ground blinds and tree stands, not to mention freestanding hides are huge on the deer hunting scene. These portable structures are the cats meow. All sorts of blinds allow us to essentially vanish inside a tent or box-like structure. Stands allow us to hunt at an elevation less easily recognized by game. Ground blinds are becoming very popular. Manufacturers catering to the discerning hunter offer a bevy of different designs.

North Carolina Turkey Hunt 6am finds me on schedule to my first listening location. The air is cool and sharp, there's no wind.
