What's everybody's opinion on using blinds?

QuoteI dont know if I'd be too confident in the one you got pictured there. It sure doesnt match it's surroundings very well.

I guess this could be a problem if you are looking at the small picture. When setting up you have to look at the BIG picture. What you see at 5 yards versus a coyote at 20 to 100 yards is totally different. Here are some more frame grabs from that stand at different perspectives.

Looking into blind at 5 yards above us.

looking out of blind toward coyote.

What coyote see's from 60 yards

What coyote see's if he could zoom up like we did on the camera.

QuoteMaybe an old Seseme Street shower curtain would work better.

Maybe not better but just as good. We only wanted to break our human outline and hide our gear. The color doesn't matter to us other than the camouflage pattern just looks cooler around our buddy's.

here in Texas there are a lot of deer blinds on some of the places we hunt and if elevated I love to sit in them with the caller on the ground below. You can see so much more and often see animals coming from a long ways off.

I'm gussing a blind probably has alot to do with where and how you hunt. The way I hunt I have no need for a blind, nor do I have the time to play with one.
I 'm no expert or pro predator caller, but in the pictures I see trees in tight country. I'd personally back up against a tree and use a shotgun without using a blind.
I wounder if my odds of calling in a coyote would go down vs someone using a blind?
