[QUOTE="Allen, post: 264453, member: 389"] I spent a couple evenings in an elevated blind last summer with the rifle. One evening in particular it was pretty eventful with all the deer around me. The next, not so much. Note, this was more of a stand though since it didn't have much in the way of shielding me from wary eyes and even less shielding me from the omnipresent wind as I frigging froze up on that totem pole. I also built a fort out of 25 small, square bales of straw to use with the kids in filling their deer tags. We LOVED the comfort of that bale blind/fort. Kept prying eyes from seeing the ever moving kids and we'd get deer up to about 6 feet away from us. In general though, I really like sitting au naturale on the countryside using lack of movement and native cover. I can't wait to get the kids to that level of calm. [/QUOTE]
