[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 264478, member: 412"] There's nothing that says you can't watch a deer bed down from the blind, then stalk it........ [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Blind/Skeet high house. The most difficulty with blinds/stands/shooting hut/etc is really for the people who don't have them (that's me). 1st blind/stand goes up in an area and it works exactly like they think it will. People out moving deer, move deer into the area with the blind where people aren't moving deer. Then it expands with the, "Well, I'm not running all the deer off my place onto the neighbors............". Chance encounters go to nearly nil. Deer move when they want to, not when they have to, and it gets difficult to kill a deer outside of the morning and evening twilight hours. Deer that get used to 0 pressure, then won't put up with any. Walk or whiz in the wrong spot in a "Sanctuary" and one can witness the shuffle away of deer activity in that area or the switch to entirely nocturnal. I'm not at all against blinds/stands. If I owned land, I'd probably have some, one must also though weigh the unintended consequences of greatly reduced chance encounters and deer movement in general. [/QUOTE]
