The day I received the ASAT ground blind, I couldn’t wait to get it set up to try out. Everything I’ve ever read about ground blinds says that you need to set them up and leave them for several days, even a few weeks before you hunt out of them. The “experts” say that by setting it up beforehand the animals get used to the blind being there. Well, I didn’t follow that rule. Darrell and I let the blind air out over night and brought it out in the field the very next day.
We drug it to the middle of a cut wheat field that afternoon and brushed it into an old rock pile. Within the first 10 minutes of getting settled into the blind that night, we had 7 turkeys walk within 25 yards of us. 5 minutes later we had 5 more within 15 yards. Neither group paid any attention to us. As the night progressed, we had a doe and fawn come within 20 yards. None of the animals spooked. A few weeks later, we brought it to a new location and set it up at the edge of a field without brushing it in. We had the same good luck that none of the deer we saw that night were nervous of us being there. The camouflage on this blind is amazing! The pattern seems to blend into whatever surroundings you put it in. It’s quick to set up and roomy enough to accommodate 2 people. From a beginner hunter to advance, I would recommend this blind for anyone!
