Has anyone ever used a ground blind for coyotes with any success? I know most people just tell you to use camo and be very still but I can't imagine sitting in the snow and barely moving for an hour or so. I have one of these blinds

and was wondering what the thoughts were on using it for predators. The interior has some kind of scent lock and it's pretty black inside, not like the picture. At least I could stand up inside and shoot in a few different directions without being seen.
 
I've never used a commercial blind, but have made up blinds on location before.
The key is not to make any more movement thhat absolutely necassary or you will spook the critter!
When I hunt with a buddy wew sometimes shoot back to back, sometimes, at different loacations.
It all depends on thhe lacation.

I use pop-up blinds a lot for Deer and Turkeys... and I see a ton of coyotes and fox while hunting from them.
Most of the good commercial blinds are invisible to all wildlife... and your movements are concealed while inside.
 
I know a few guys that have used them for hunting deer and they really like them.
I can't see a reason for them not to work .
They are becoming quite popular as well, so it is only a matter of time till we see them regularly, I think.

Dumb question but...I assume the color doesn't make a difference. Just the fact that there's no movement seen by the critters.
 
Only if you move every 45 minutes Tod. Lot's of times you can just stay in one place for quite a while and call them in. All depends on how you hunt them though. I've been thinking of getting one of these blonds actually, a hunting buddy in Nebraska uses them all the time and has a lot of good things to say about them. - dan
 
I concept it seems like a good idea though the vast majority of the stands I set are around 15 min, for me if it's going to work they are on you in 5 min or less. a few time I have had responses later but the also seem to be the ones that hang up. Having no experience with them they would have to be up or down in a minute or less and really easy to pack around.

It would be hard to beat good camo.
 
The ameristep blind I have sets up real quick. I'd bet I could set it up in less than 5 minutes quite easily. It only weighs about 7 or 8lbs and comes with a backpack. Takedown is just as fast.
 
Similar to what LG said, I've also used a 6-8' piece of chicken wire with old corn stalks or other similar plant threaded through. It rolls up easy enough and is light enough to tote around.
