![Ground Blind / Rhino 180 Ground Blind [Review]](/img/1.gif)
The blind is easy to put up and take down. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxvlQxmcZQzSQSYbJsEgAGvG2DaduKTV99 As a female hunter, the ease of placing and setting up the blind is a plus. It’s more of a wind barrier than a warm quilted blind. Which makes it a lot lighter than our quilted blind. I enjoyed the larger windows/openings. Made for a successful season. It has held up well for the first season and the stitching looks good.
One tip I've taught people is to take their snacks out of the loud wrappers and put them in either ziplock bags or wrap them in a paper towel to keep the noise down. It's the little things that add up to success.
I learned this when I was 8. I took cookies and I thought my dad was going to choke me till I turned blue lol.
The truly hardcore prechew their snacks and carry them in their cheeks.
Or don’t snack at all. People act like they’re cows needing to graze all day wtf
Just got my first ground blind today and plan on using it soon, and these tips are super helpful
@@granthoppes7823 best of luck and skill!
Last year I got my first kill with a bow from a ground blind. 9 point buck in full velvet. Nobody told me about wearing black, or black face paint, or only keeping one window open... I did these things instinctively because I know I tend to move around a little. My blind is clean inside, and completely invisible for the brush. I cleared out a shooting lane from the adjacent thicket with a machete and propped the blind 10 yards in the thicket. I've created a murder hole...
great video! didnt ramble for 20 minutes before getting started
This video is so refreshing and restores my faith in humanity lol. You get quickly to the point; you're not so obsessed with hearing yourself and watching yourself to milk as much camera time as possible ha ha. These are real-world tips; all the stuff my friends and I do, but there's almost no videos with actual useful tips besides this one. At the end, you modestly claim to not be an expert and even ask for additional tips. BRAVO- well done. The hunting community needs more like you. Keep up the great work and THANKS for the great vid. DS
The
I was thinking the same thing!!!
Another "box tent" hero with an armchair.
Some really good advice!
We need to offer as many beginner tips as possible.
The hunting community is shrinking, we need to help these folks!
Tip # 15--since you spent all that money on a ground blind, spend $10 to &12 more on a 3' X 4' rubber backed throw rug. Place it in the back part of the blind, where you place your stool, chair whatever, and the carpet keeps your chair from sinking into the forest floor. Also gives you a clean dry spot to set your gear or change your socks etc. !! I have one for each of my 3 blinds and have used the same rugs for 5 to 6 seasons now !!
Steve Andrews or lay down some ply wood if possible.
Coltin - The rug is quiet. The plywood, not so much.
Great tip thanks! Sometimes I may never know where exactly I’ll be setting up the GB, rug idea is great!
Great idea! Thank you
@@coltinlaplante7400 plywood is a terrible idea...for obvious reasons
Great tips, thank you. For hanging your bow, if your blind won't support the weight, you can use a shepherd's hook like the ones you see in a cemetery for hanging plants.
Number one mandatory "tip" when using ground blinds is plan your safety backstop. It is much easier to choose safe shooting directions, with safe backstops, when shooting from an elevated position in a tree stand. With elevated treestands you can more easily choose safe shooting directions such that the shot has a proper backstop at an angle into the ground. It is true that you can safely shoot out of ground blinds but it is much more difficult to properly orient a ground blind to create a safe backstop. I have seen too many ground blinds set up such that the shot is across a horizontal field with only the woods as a backstop such that other hunters can be killed.
I don’t even hunt, probably never will but this video was crazy informative
i wonder why someone would hunt...
@@mack3009 for sport, bringing home clean amd natural meat, animal population control, and it's more honorable to track, hunt and humanely kill your food thanto buy ir from the market, animals are mistreated and butchered in mass production farms
@@mack3009 i hope thats ironic
Don't knock it till ya try it.
Yeah... me too. I'm no hunter. I didn't know what a ground blind even was, now i feel like if ever needed, I'm well informed. Thanks!
Tip#10 Lose the Camo
Best tip ever!
Two weeks ago in a new ground blind.
Set up two months ago, water proofed, brushed in.
One small window open
Wearing camo.
3 bucks seen 50 yards from where I could take an ethical shot. Wouldn’t come closer and they took off within 3 minutes.
I didn’t make sound, scent control excellent. I surmised that must have seen me.
Watched your video when I got back to town and saw tip #10.
Bought a black long sleeve shirt, black no logo hoodie, and a black watch cap with built-in pull-down face cover.
Went back this past weekend, put on my scent controlled washed “ninja suit”, blacked out the skin around my eyes, forehead, and bridge of nose. In blind 1 hour before sunrise.
When I could actually see my kill zone there were FIVE bucks milling around. One walked to within 10 feet of my blind.
Looked right at me, didn’t see me.
Arrowed 8 pointer, 200lb at 30 yards.
Moral of the story:
Lose the damn camo in a ground blind!!!!
I have also used a Shepherds hook (for hanging plants) to hang my crossbow. You can tape the area that the bow sits with tape to keep it from making noise
One more thing I would advise. Ear protection when rifle hunting. You are going to key off more of what you see than what you hear. You don't shoot in a direction where you hear something. You shoot in a direction where you see something. No reason to give yourself permanent hearing damage.
I " discovered " walkers game ear this year. With high decibel mics built into Hearing protection I can hear incredibly well.
I appreciate the effort that you put into doing a quality video short into the point. Helpful for those who have never hunted out of a blind, or hasn’t ever hunted in almost 40 years
Thanks for taking the time to make this video and share it with us. I found several of your ideas very good, and not necessarily self evident if you haven't hunted in a ground blind previously. This is my first year using a ground blind because my son intends to join me some days and my ladder stand was a single. Thanks again.
Excellent tutorial. Unlike most others, you don't waste any time giving us the best tips in the least amount of time. A+ from this outdoor education teacher!
I hunt in a small outhouse blind,shot numerous dear under 20 yards,everything you say is true,keeping motion to a minimum is the most critical! I am amazed that if you don’t move they CANNOT SEE YOU ! Sent is another ISSUE WITH THE WRONG WIND NO COVER SENT WILL FOOL A DEER!
Scent,Not Sent
wow dude well put together. Been hunting almost all my life but for the first time will be using a blind this year. Thought I had it all together but you hit a few topics that never even began to cross my mind. Thank you for your time sir!!!!!
I hunt a good bit from a ground blind and use a lot of these tips! Very well thought out video! Very interesting to see just how effective some of these tips are at adding concealment! Great job!
This is one of the best hunting videos I've ever watched. So well executed on all levels, thank you!
I've watched a ton of blind hunting videos lately to start with my kids. This is by far the best. Fantastic work.
Great video!! You illustrated most everything I was concerned with hunting from a blind. Awesome job!!!
This is going to be my first time hunting with a ground blind and I found the tips on this video very helpful. Thank you!
Those gear ties are AWESOME. So many uses. Thanks for the tips, man. I doing my first hunting from a blind this year.
Very good advice. I've been deer hunting for 48 years, 20-22 years of it hunting from pop-ups, hang ons and natural brush blinds. I couldn't give anything much over what was explained here. Excellent!!
Thanks for a great video. Just got my first ground blind and you pointed out many things that I had NOT thought of. Been bow hunting over 20 years and Yes, an olde dog like me can still learn new tricks. Good luck to you this coming season.
At first I saw the 10mins and wasn't going to watch. But I'm sure glad that I did, bc this has been the most informative "how to video" I've ever seen. I loved the video clips visualizing the errors that could go wrong. The commentary also had no,b.s. and had all good solid facts! Great Video! Thanks for making it for everyone!
FANTASTIC video! Just finished my first week of deer hunting out of stands and was looking into getting blind for the next few weeks. This was super helpful
The Best How TO--Hunting Video on YTube. Concise, Clear, well thought out presentation. I have hunted out of ground blinds for years, but the video is a great reminder to see before the season starts. Thank you very much for the excellent video.
That was a great video with a lot of often-overlooked things while hunting! Thank you for that I hope to check out some other videos from your channel.
Lots of info and no fluff. Straight to the point. Good video.
First year hunter here, this is great advice! Thank you for taking the time to pass some knowledge!
There is more useful advice per minute in this video than any other hunting video I've seen. Great work!
Great video. As someone who has used a ground blind for many wears, all the suggestions are worth using.
Great presentation and long on common sense! Well done!
Couldn't have said it any better. I do everything you mentioned except the water proof spray. If I had to give one tip though, make sure you clear the back wall of the blind while at full draw. Spooked a good buck because my elbow brushed up against the back wall when I drew, making a SWISHHHH sound.
Well done, thorough. I would add spraying the inside and see through scenes with scent prevention spray.
as a first time hunter this video told me a lot of information i would have never thought of. thank tou for taking the time to make this.
I just bought my first pop up blind and set it up yesterday. That is the reason I found you because I wanted to learn how to hunt out of the blind. Great Tips and Great Video! Thank you
Shoot through the mesh. Hands down the best thing I got from this. New to hunting, much less archery. Thanks so much. Great tips- all of them.
Easily the best ground blind video I've watched. Thanks so much for sharing.
Cool ! I`ve never hunted before , been thinking about trying it lately , this was inspiring , greetings from Norway
Having a piece of leftover carpet to cover the entire bottom helps too. Great video 👍
I appreciate you taking time to make this video. Very concise and informative. Thank you!
This is a GREAT video! Thank you for taking the time. All well thought out tips !
This is my first year bow hunting from a ground blind. Thanks for the tips. My biggest concern was what to do with my bow. Now I know. Thanks again.
Outstanding video not only did you get in a lot of valuable experience from the field but your delivery in the video was incredibly instructional easy-to-understand and to-the-point keep up the good work I'm going to subscribe just to see what other kind of videos you produced because if they're as good as this one I've got a lot to learn
Awesome video! Informative and to the point! Great info for a new hunter like myself. Gave me a lot of insight into how and where to hunt. I know what to look for in purchasing my first blind!
One of the the most informative videos I’ve ever seen! WELL DONE SIR!
Wow! so much great info, thank you! My husband and I want to start hunting from a ground blind. This video was super, SUPER helpful.
Man those was some awsome tips I never even thought of thanks for the tips and i we’ll definitely use them thanks again
Great video. I don't hunt out of a blind, usually stand or still hunt. This season however, I have been taking my neighbors 28 yr old handicap son out. He is a big dude with car accident disabilities that keep him out of a tree....so I picked up a blind.....we are doing so many things wrong in this thing. Guess that's why we spooked several deer on day 1 and 2 of the weekend. Going to do somethings different this weekend. Thanks for the great tips
I like the comforts of home. Nice chair center back. Folding stool center right side for laying rifle. Cross bow front left. Shooting stick. P jug right side back. Pistol holster taped to right chair leg. Left side back turkey vest carrying coffee pot 2 sprites, range finder, bag with 25 strips jerky, binoculars. Aplenty hot hand open an stored in baggie. Learn your layout be efficient silent. 20 clothes pins for adjusting window openings an reducing light. Slings off stored in stool. Put m up early and leave all season. ALLWAYS DOWN WIND 60 YARDS FROM DOES puts buck at 20 yards from blind. Works for me. Phone ear buds. Listen allthrogh proverbs n hour 35 minutes. Jesus is LORD
Cringe factor high
@@andrejslv4192 to each his own. This was usable info. Last part was of his opinion. Gotta respect it.
Great advice👍
I pass the time in Bible study and I love the audio Proverbs idea. Blessings and happy hunting to all!
Amen. Like your style. Learn fro others experiences
great video! first year hunting from a blind and all these tips were very good. Thanks!
Awesome advise, going for my first hunt this season so I really appreciate the advice!
Wow! Those all seem like fairly straightforward tips but I just learned a ton. As a new hunter I'm still learning. Thanks for making this video
Great tips, Thanks!! only been hunting for 4 years, found several to be very useful! Thanks again!
Thanks John, good basic info with strong visuals to prove your points.
Short, sweet and informative. Great job !!!
WOW.... great video ! When I saw 14 tips it made me think....ALOT I didn't take into consideration. Things mentioned here I never took into consideration. All of it I will do now. Unsuccessful I have been due to not realizing alot. Thank you.
Thank you, there were a lot of great tips in your video. I am in the market for my first ground blind. I usually make them out of dead fall branches, but I am seeing the need for one now.
Thanks for the great tips. Always been in a tree but sometimes finding the right tree in the right place is not always possible. Going to try the ground blind this year. Hopefully the learning curve won’t be too costly.
Awesome tips! Thank you so much for being direct and to the point. Your video was very helpful to me.
I know this video is like 3 years old now but I still use it as a refesher every year and share it with guys that are just starting out hunting or just trying pupub blinds for the first time.
I appreciate the tips and I will exercise them. Thank you!
You are good! I enjoyed these tips. Though I am a rifle hunter, same rules apply. I just set up my blind and I
will now make a few adjustments. Thanks
This was really well done. Lots of great tips and no time wasted. Thanks...
Awesome video with great tips! I hunt a lot out of my blind as I have artificial hips and knees so climbing into most treestands is not easy. The best tip...wearing black instead of camo!!!
I just subscribed as I like your presentation!
Awesome video. I'm going to sit in blind for my first time this weekend. Very useful tips. Thanks.
Short and sweet, you got to the point , with the right and concise points: especially for the the beginner!...Thank god someone got the point for the how to for a you tube video! Thank you for being accurate and conise!!!!!!
Direct and to the point. Great tips. The black clothing makes so much sense and I never thought of it. Amazing how the camo clothes reflected the light. I have black netting to go over my head to keep away mosquitos. I'll have to see how much that will allow light to show my face. It looks like he hasn't posted a video in four years, I hope he is ok.
Great video the only thing I highly recommend is ear protection that also is amplified for hearing, for rifle season of course
such a great video! that #11 clip of him poking his head up was hilarious
Great tips, especially the demonstrations to illustrate each tip.
No nonsense just a ton of information. Outstanding, thanks!
This was a very informative video. New to ground blinds and this will help me out a lot. I have at least had my blind set up for a month where I want to hunt so the deer can get used to it.
Nice! The longer it sits there the better!
Thanks so much for the tips! Beginner here and I would have never thought of most of these things!
I liked the video, and I am going hunting in the morning. I have done a few of these things, but I still have not done most. I think it's a little late now, but next year I'll be ready.
Quick and to the point.good job man G.M.
amazing info! thank you for such a thorough explanation
Excellent tips never to old to learn something new or be reminded of something you overlooked.
i just bought a ground blind this year and I learned alot from you and this video..thanks for your help...great vid!!!!
Glad you liked it!
nice and practical.. i rarely use ground blinds ..so most of the points are right on (with out the blind ) your comments on breaking up your profile is right on. never sit or stand in the open always have something breaking up your profile and be very aware of where the light is coming from good video ...
Thanks for the common sense tips. I'm a newer hunter and haven't gotten a deer since 2019. I need all the pointers I can get.
Awesome advice. Thanks for the tips about shadows and wearing ninja stuff instead of camo. Makes total sense!
Thank you so much for this great video. I hunted this year out of a ground blind for the first time and after watching this video I now see that I probably did almost everything you shouldn't do, lol. Very helpful video, clear with lots of tips, examples and demonstrations. This will definitely help me be more successful next year, Thanks a lot!!
Glad you liked it and found it helpful!!!
Just bought my first ground blind, thank you, these are great tips!
If your blind is going to be set up in the same place year after year, you might try this idea. I got a pallet, 78 x 78 inches, floored it with plywood, put nails around the edges where the tie down loops on the blind are located and set up the blind on it. I also stapled down rubber matting on the floor to kill noise.
Great information!
Very important to practice while seated. Many horror stories about couldent pull my bow back!
Dont get to close to the back of the blind or you will hit your elbow when drawing your bow. Sent control is still needed and probably the most important thing. Try sprinkling skunk sent around your blind, it will mask you sent and doesn't alarm animals. Good luck!
I am 63 years old & have many hunts under my belt using ground blinds. What you have said is spot on I do everything you have recommended.. It works. I would like to add 1 little thing.,..I spray scent killer on my window screens & windows & door.. You made a great presentation!
there are some really helpful tips in this video. nice work.
SOLID info!! Concise and very well put. You talk fast but very clear and saves time. I wear "Large" so actually bought a 2XL all black matt black top which I put on when I get to the blind. I wear it and before leaving spray it down and drape it on my chair. Put it on when I get in. I know my scent control is great the days they walk right up to the windows and look in going "I know there's some strange shit going on but not bad enough to snort and bugger off". ; )
The one thing I would add is that you have to be particularly anal about scent control from a ground blind as the scent hits them asa soon as they get into the wind path. You might be irking the wind or hunting from that blind only when the wind is in your favour but while does, fawns and smaller bucks will come in straight a big buck even if it off by a little bit will always try to wind you by going off course and putting the suspected area and the wind in his favour. So scent control is paramount always but especially from a blind.
I also prefer the ground blind shot vs. the tree stand shot as the ground blind shot is parallel to the ground and a clear double lung or deeper penetration vs the angle created by a tree stand.
Great tips buddy....thanks for sharing with the community!
Excellent, informative video. This video WILL help ground blind hunters.
straight and to the point. good job!
Man great video. I'm an amateur hunt just recently bought my first blind. Very informative!

Good show. Points well made with solutions. Thanks!!!
Awesome video and helpful tips for sure. Thanks
