We have a blind at the lease that should produce every time. However the deer always spook us because we are in the wide open. The only problem is that this feeder is great but we cant move the bow blind because of the lack of trees. What is one way I can make that blind less visable to the deer? With the angle of the feeder, it leaves the hunter in the wide open to the deer making it obvious that they are pulling back. Any help is appreciated here!

I have blinds that aren't even close to a tree. Just throw some brush on them and the deer will walk right past them. Granted, we out ours out at least a month before the season starts so the deer get used to them. If moving it is not an option, just brush it in and leave small holes to shoot through.

Bingo, Brushed one in well and does and young bucks were at the feeder the next day, the bigger bucks were showing u again after a week.

Like others stated. Brush it in. Another option is a platform with a pop up.

I have one spot that my ground blind is a prickly pear patch. I gathered up some decent sized mesquite, wedged them all around and cut shooting lanes through the limbs. Sitting in my chair the cactus is stomach to chest high. Ive had deer feeding within 5 feet of the cactus and never detect me. Feeder is 20 yards away. Simple, cheap and effective.
