I've spent the night in a ground blind before and any little noise will scare them off. It's cool to hear them when they come in. The wool is to keep quite if you rub up against the blind and a couple to rap your self up in too. It's no different then a tent, sleep on the floor get yourself in shooting position way before day light. Remember your there to keep from spooking them off when you come into your blind to hunt. BTW, they will bed down close so don't think there not there when you get up. So always keep quite. It will pay off. Good luck.

Might be better once the days are a little cooler.  I know they are working our areas later at night with this warm weather.

Is it just me?  I feel like the hottest days of the year are on the archery elk opener the majority of the time.  I sure miss the old days when our season was October 1-16th regardless of what days they landed on.

He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

I think people sitting in blinds all night is one of the ways the animals know that hunting season has begun.
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

When Bernie Madoff did it, it's called a "Ponzi Scheme"
When Government does it, it's called "Social Security"

The night before Turkey opened this year, myself and 3 buddies spent the night in my blind underneath the roost. Last year we were not able to hunt in this spot because a couple guys spent the night in their pickup and were setting up when we arrived at 3 am.

This year we roosted the birds and went in and setup two blinds and the decoys. It rained all night, and was generally terrible. It paid off the next morning when two birds flopped out right in front of us and my buddy and I shot a double. My best bird ever at 22 pounds. We had two toms down by 6 am, so it paid off. I will do the exact same thing next year.

I will tell you, sleeping a blind is hardcore. It is miserable, I know exactly what that was like. Sorry it didn't work out, but its good to see someone giving it there all.
