Find an old, abandoned farmhouse, or other building, somewhere out in deer country, to use as a blind that time forgot.
I have watched a few hunting shows where they did this exact thing with good success. If you think about it, it is better than setting up a ground blind or tree stand new to the area.
Deer would see the old building as just part of their natural surroundings.
Man I wish there was something like that on the property we hunt on. I imagine its 100x warmer too LOL

But I can't shoot from my house right? Wrong?
I’m sure if I was to shot something from my shop I’d be in troubleQuote:

That depends on where you live, and what the bylaws dictate.Quote:

The property I hunt for deer has a few old outbuildings immediately adjacent to one of the fields where we hunt. The loft with a window is a decent spot, particularly when it gets wet out.
On my family property in Iowa, one of the most productive blinds is an old grain bin with windows cut in it. Right on the edge of an oak bush with corn fields behind it and to the side. a grass hill with scattered oaks to the front that gives way to a CRP field. Many deer have been taken from that blind, including a 165 inch typical buck. Too bad it’s so expensive to hunt there as a nine resident.
Best ever-so you go to the outhouse "armed"......:silly:;):thumbup:Loving it.Quote:
