Need GS Advice on ground blind

[Brockles5211]

Guys I am looking for a bit of advice on a new ground blind setup. In the middle of the picture where the deer head is that is the location of my feeder pen. It is aprox 30'x30' and I am getting great traffic coming to it. My rifle setup is located 128 yards to the northwest of this spot. During bow season I have a south wind most of the time. The pin with the cross-hairs is located about 15-20 yards from the edge of my feeder pen with traffic coming from the northeast and the south. Main question is 15-20 yards too close for a ground blind setup? I have been bow hunting primarily in tree strands these last 2 years and have had 0 luck on my 1st kill. I am hoping that maybe getting on the ground in a popup brushed in along the ceders will maybe help me out this year. What says the GS??

what is a feeder pin?

Ha ha very good...feeder pen

20 Yards shouldn't be a problem. Try to tuck it in a cedar. This will also help with scent elimination.

Thank you M16!

Tuck it in right west of your crosshairs. If you have deer from NE and S that would work out well. Especially on days with a SE wind...OR to the NW of the feeder

I keep mine about 25 yards away from the center of my kill zone (I don't have a feeder, but wish I did). You'd be surprised at how many shot opportunities you will get coming in closer range. I would personally not worry about distance and focus on brushing it in.
