4 reasons why ground blinds are a late-season bowhunter’s best friend

#3  MOBILITY

As deer patterns change later in the season, ground blinds have the added advantage of allowing you stay mobile. When the rut winds down, for example, bucks will head for key food sources to regain their strength, so you can simply pick up and move with them. The food sources will vary depending on the time of year and your region, but in my zone, which is entirely agricultural, I look for unharvested grain fields and set up along the edge of the adjacent bush line. I’ve found that large bucks spend more huntable daylight hours where there are such food sources.

In the perfect situation, set up along the deer’s route between its bedding area and food supply. Being at the ready in your blind with an arrow nocked when a big buck comes down the trail with a full belly and his guard down can make your season one to remember.
