A thread was started a while back asking how long should you wait to hunt a newly set up pop up blind. FYI, I set up and brushed in a pop up around 1:00pm, Friday afternoon and had plenty deer show up at the feeder 4:43pm the same afternoon. The pop up was 26yds from the feeder and the deer never noticed a thing. I had a camera malfunction, so no pics.

Cool, I love using the ol' double bull... Something about being eye to eye with them.... -
I'm glad it worked for you. I bet it would work for me also since deer don't come to my feeder!

Two years ago I killed a 125" 10 point 45 minutes after I set up my popup on a place I never hunted before. I picked a trail, found a good spot and waited. no bait no nothing and I saw the deer 30 minutes after setting up chasing a doe. they finally came strolling by me 15 minutes later and I put an arrow through his boiler maker.....I think the key is to make it blend in well.......Comment

Love hunting the double bull, agree eye level is great, Unfortunately it took a few days for my deer to get acquainted to it, but during the rut I think they got something else on their mind

Drenalin, I have had that same thing happen where the deer need a little time to get used to them and then other times I have set it up and had deer right there that day (brushed in good too both times), I guess it all depends on the deer in that partuicular area..Comment

I am sure that is a hunt you won't forget! One of my lease mates shot a great deer this way. Set up a ground blind on a trail and killed a 138" buck the next morning. He did put some throw corn down though, and his blind was brushed/blended in pretty good. Guess the buck kept looking at the blind, from 10 yards away but did not spook enough to save him.Originally posted by bowhuntertex View PostComment
