Many hunters of all ages enjoy turkey hunting from a blind.<\/strong> It’s relatively straight forward, offers a very high level of cover and concealment, and allows the hunter to move around a little bit more than they would normally get away with without a blind. That said, hunting from a blind comes with its’ own set of challenges that we will cover in this guide on how to turkey hunt from a blind.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turkey hunting from a blind is one of the most exciting ways to hunt. The thrill of being able to sneak up on a bird, or call it in until you can shoot, is unlike any other experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there’s more than one way to go about turkey hunting. While some people like wearing camo and sneaking around in the woods (or suburbs), others prefer sitting still and calling from a blind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calling from a blind can be more effective if done correctly, but there are some important things you need to know before doing so!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Hunting Blind?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A turkey hunting blind<\/a> is a camouflaged structure that hunters can use to hide from the game. Turkey hunting blinds can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, metal, or fabric, and are often designed to blend in with their surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n

The main purpose of a turkey hunting blind is to allow hunters to bring their prey down with ease by hiding themselves from sight. However, they are not only used for turkeys! You can also use them to hunt other birds like quail, pheasant, duck, as well as larger game like deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do Turkeys Notice Blinds?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest questions you may have about the behavior of turkeys is whether or not they notice blinds when hunting. After all, turkeys have outstanding vision, but is it good enough to tell the difference between a blind and the surrounding landscape?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will depend on the exact time of day you are hunting, as well as how comfortable the turkey feels in its surroundings, and the camouflage of the blind itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turkeys are very curious creatures, and they can even approach a blind to investigate. If you\u2019ve set up your blind correctly, this shouldn\u2019t be too much of an issue\u2014but if the turkey is feeling threatened by something else nearby (like another hunter), it may simply fly away without giving your blind so much as a glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Hunt Turkeys From a Blind?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re new to turkey hunting<\/a>, you may be wondering why hunters often choose to set up a blind rather than just sitting in the open. After all, turkeys can see incredibly well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact is, even though turkeys can see long distances, they have poor depth perception. This means that they can\u2019t always tell how far away something is. When you\u2019re hidden in a blind, the turkey doesn\u2019t know how far away you are and is less likely to be spooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, sitting in a blind gives you the element of surprise. You can wait until the turkey is close enough where it would otherwise be very<\/strong> difficult to take a shot if it saw you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
