For the expert yote hunters out there. I have been hunting dogs for a long time but decided to go to a blind this year just to see how it works. I am curious if this blind sticks out like a sore thumb to a dog. Do they notice things like that? The sage is not very tall in a few places I hunt and I really want to be in the blind. For one I want to video some kills. And I am tired of them spotting my movements from a mile away (I cant sit still, ADHD I think :chuckle:).
Any suggestions, tips appreciated
Thanks

Your blind isn't going to do you any good. Those dogs can smell your farts from over a mile away. You'll have better luck trying to run one over with your truck :chuckle:

Never tried it but have heard yotes wont come anywhere near. Supposed to be a waste of time.

We usually make 4 to 9 sets a day of about 15 to 20 min each for each set which can be up to a 1/2 mile from each other. I wouldn't want to drag that blind with me or take the time to set it up. We try to pack as light as possible. That's one reason we don't use e-callers You didn't say if you planned on setting it up in a stationary spot and hoping a coyote will pass by, there are some areas where that could work. But I think your success rate would be quite low. If you baited and was in your blind at nite that would probably increase your odds. Still not the way I would want to hunt. Go ahead and try it and let us know how it went.

If I where you, i would atleast brush up the blind alittle more then that...(CAMO) Cover it with sage branches... :twocents: you have it in the wide open!

You mean like add actual branches or just change the color of the camo. I didnt think dogs saw in color? Also not may other options other than wide open out here.
Thanks for the help.

well i like the idea of a blind... my partner doesnt so we dont use one. i would say by looking at the second picture there that if you move it a little to the left (guessing 10 feet or so?) it would sort sit in the niche those couple of bushes make.... a few branches leaning against it might not hurt either. ive always liked the ideas of a blind but like the others said they arnt that practical.... specially if your doing lots of sets or traveling long distances. good luck.

I have used my quick set turkey blind fabric/netting....with the three little stakes that came with it...., light, fast...might be a bitch with the freeze on though....

That is actually the number one reason I wanted to try the blind. BRRRRRRR its cold right now. Really nice being out of the wind.
Actually this little blind is the spring loaded kind that you just fold and twist and it turns into a circle, stuff it in the bag that is a backpack and your off. Really really quick.
I am going to start looking for a lone tall sage to set it up next to to help hide me. I am going to give it a few more tries.
Thanks again
