Blind on a WMA?

[NameBarrel]

This will be my first year hunting and I was wondering if anyone has experience with pop up blinds on a WMA. I don't have a stand and no experience on one so I don't my first hunt to be spent figuring it out in the dark, but I could carry in a pop up blind and put in some brush and kinda cover it easy enough. Also if anyone in south Georgia wouldn't mind teaching someone how to hunt I'm not entirely opposed.

I would hunt with a rifle btw

This isn't exactly it, but i've used something like this: https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/redhead-gobbler-portable-ground-blind
I've used it at Big Lazer and Paulding Forest. Works well and it portable.

Welcome to hunting and the forum as well!

This could work too. Has good reviews.

I was thinking this for better concealment but your suggestions would definitely be easier to hide in the woods

I think that would work great for concealment as well. Might be more cumbersome to bring in and out of the woods, not sure though.

A low sitting turkey chair, some camo webbing like from Walmart and some tree limbs to prop the netting up on works great also when sitting in front of a tree.

I stay away from the leaf cut camo at Walmart because it tears up so easy .

I've thought of something like that since all I would have to take is the netting and a chair or a bucket and have the netting and my water in the bucket and use the bucket as a seat

The netting will fit in your pack. I also carry one of those cheap 4 dollar fleece blankets to spread over the chair to help cut down on any sound when I move. My chair I tie it to my pack with paracord to help keep my hands free. Tried a bucket before they get uncomfortable

There is an amazing chair called a tree lounger, or tree hammock, that ties to a tree. It is a very comfy sit, and you can set it up in seconds, once you get the hang of it. I got one off eBay a few years ago and love it. Packs light too....check it out.

I found one on Amazon....the pic should be a link

Looking for tree chairs I found a few other ones that were really cool. .......then again, a Wally World cushion hooked to A belt buckle will keep your butt dry and make sitting on the ground pretty comfy too.

Most of the time I will use a dove stool or bag chair from Walmart and sit overlooking a couple trails. Blind isn't necessary. Just sit mostly still and enjoy the day.

check out the tree seat here -- awesome, not cheap but top quality made in u.s.a.
www.versatilegroundblind.com i hunt almost exclusively out of this

I do not like the idea of a blind on a WMA, especially in the woods. its hard to pick out a well placed blind when your sneaking through the woods. Blinds make it hard for ppl to know your there. I like hunting from the ground, but ive always got my orange visible.

I am older now and have given up climbers but a Summit is so easy to attach to a tree it is pathetic.

No parts to lose.

Do it once or twice in the daylight and it becomes so easy you could do it blindfolded.

No shame in a blind or chair but a stand does a LOT of things for you.

Safety first and GOOD LUCK!

I hunt almost exclusively from the ground, but it not as easy as you may think,especially during bow season. New climbing stands are very easy to use (make sure to use a safety harness ! ) , so if you practice at the house with one for a little bit before going to the woods,you shouldnt have any trouble. If you choose to ground hunt, dont get frustrated too quickly if you get busted by every doe in the woods. Just learn to set up with something that blends in with where you are .

I was thinking about that, putting either a cheap orange vest on the roof or using just some netting so I'm still somewhat visible. I know a tree stand is the way to go, I just don't have any trees in my yard to practice on. I live in the suburbs.
