First Bow Hunt

Went on my first bow hunt last weekend. I placed my pop up blind way too close to the pig trail. I am not sure who was more scared when a couple mean sounding pigs basically rubbed against my blind in pitch dark at 6:00 AM and ran off. Needless to say I moved my blind for the afternoon hunt. No luck yet, but will be out again next weekend. Here is a picture from the blind that morning.

Good luck.

Looks like you have too many windows open. Close any that don't have a shooting lane. I generally pic 1 or 2 windows to shoot from. I have the screens up on them but have cut shooting holes in the screens. Wear black and get as far in the back of it as you can. Once I started doing this in a pop up, it was like night and day the number of animals I saw and how close they would come to me. Yours doesn't look brushed up either, I highly suggest brushing in pop-ups.

Thanks for the advice Chuck, will do.

Did you have any luck? Where were you hunting?

Hunting pigs. Ended up not sitting in the blind this weekend, to busy missing dove!
