This was my first hunt from an enclosed blind. Canvas covered metal frame.  It was ok. I left the north window closed to block the wind (hoped to see the big buck at a distance so I could open it). I left the south one open. 

Decoy in view to the northwest


Decoy in view to the southwest


West view is through some tress for concealment


Doe in high grass. She circled the decoy


Chip shot with rifle, but a bit too far for a bow (40 yards)


Great sunset to end the hunt

Hit and miss for does but can be killer for bucks. I usually hunt a few times with the decoy.  It's just another option.

These three does came from 150 yards away to check out the decoy.  Plenty close to shoot.
