Not very sporting but much less effort for the predator. So t's important to establish what is sporting. Again fish in the barrel is a term we all understand.
1. blinds are generally set on the ground and are more like a tent not a tree fort

2. tree stands are mostly used for bow hunters due to range restrictions.

3. for a blind or tree stand to be effective you have to first identify the movement patterns of the game you are hunting and place them accordingly.

4. generally you can't bait animals with food (legally), but you can use scent attractants such as doe piss and such


i think you have a big misconception of what the average hunter does. im not sure if it's because you've only seen shit on televison where there are rich assholes that pay around 10-15k per deer on a fenced in property.


Can we please get back on topic and talk more about these two lucky kids that are being adopted by someone.



oh...and stop being such a fucking pussy.
Thanks for the input. The detail regarding blinds is interesting but does not provide a strong case for them IMO. And I probably shouldn't have mentioned it as it is slightly off topic..
If I'm incorrect, that there is an issue among the hunting community with regard to 'evolved" hunting techniques, including advanced weapons, then say so.
