Walk to blind from parking spot is 800 yards on the road or around 600 yards as the crow flies.

Truck makes for a very comfortable blind that I have killed lots of critters from and it is heated with good windows. When not hunting from the truck I usually walk 400 to 800 yards

Just depends but, my main blind about 50' blind is on a tank damn and truck is down behind it where there is now a mesquite flat. Another blind is a 700 yard walk and a few others you need someone to drop you off so you don't leave your scent...

15 yards from my blind, I cleared out a section of heavy brush to drive The ranger in. Deer have never noticed it, they walk by all the time.

Had not given much thought to spreading my sent over a long distance while walking in. I agree that critters seem to be less suspicious of a vehicle than anything on 2 legs.

I have a few different places I'll park depending on wind. All are at least 200 yds walk some are further.

The pasture I hunt has all sorts of old farm equipment, trucks, etc., that have been laying around for years, so I can literally park my white Silverado next to the blind and not raise any suspicions.

1/2 mile. I hunt up north and park long way from tree stand



Isn't the best way to save face to keep the lower part shut?

Thanks to everyone for the replies. I was reminded that my older brother shot his best muzzleloader buck in southern Michigan while worming in his truck listning to Bob and Tom. He did turn the radio down when the shot presented itself.

Thanks all!

Pull my Ranger in the brush 50 yards from the blind. Ranch hands use Rangers daily and pay no attention.

I saw a stand the other day that was in the middle of a 300 acre meadow. Parking out of sight would have required a half mile walk. I had the idea of building a small garage under it to park in.
