When you set up your ground blind, the most important thing to consider is where you will enter the ground blind. You want to be as quiet and concealed as possible to keep from spooking the deer. Be sure you can enter the ground blind in a spot that makes it difficult to be spotted. You also want to get in the blind as quietly as possible and that’s why you need to prepare the ground ahead of time. Clear it of debris and leaves that could make noise when you get your blind. If your ground blind is going to stay put for the season, make sure it is securely tied down and brush in the spots that need extra concealment with surrounding limbs. Finally, get in the blind and check your shooting lane. Clear away any branches or leaves that could hinder your sight and shot.
