Who's hunting the place 15 miles west of Junction on the south side of IH-10 that has no less than 4 box blinds set up on one feeder? And all within 50 yards of the feeder.

I'm betting it's gotta be some of them city boys from Houston or Dallas.

Im just being thorough. One blind to cover each wind direction. When you can't shoot more than 50 yards you have to be overly cautious of scent control.

Those aren't box blinds, those are deer houses.

I wonder how many 4 wheelers and UTV's they use to get to their stands? Do they have designated parking so they don't spook the deer off of the one feeder?

Who takes the shot if there's one buck? Rock, Paper, Scissors?

I saw that earlier on the way home. Has to be for wind direction. Very strange setup.

Even more strange when four hunters hunt the feeder.

Maybe it is set up for photography rather than hunting.

It is probably the same guy in between Hext and London that has his feeder 50 yards off the highway in the middle of a 200 acre yellow grass field and the ground stand shooting towards hwy 29. There is not a mesquite with in 400 yards of either of them. He better check for traffic from both directions before he shoots.

The price of hunting just went up if you have to have 4 blinds for each feeder to take into account the wind direction. Hunting is already expensive enough.

One for the hunter, one for the videographer, one for the photographer, one for the wife so she doesnt feel left out. Gotta be able to put your hunt on facebook to outdo all your friends, right? aim

I've hunted a lot of years. Never saw the need to have multiple stands for a feeder in order to avoid the wind. Just move the stand to a location where the wind is not likely to be a factor. You know where the prevailing winds come from and where the winds come from following a front.

Those box blinds would be difficult to launch and arrow from. Smallish windows.

I dunno. Squirrely set up with no good reason if you ask me.

^^^ we set all our stands/feeders up on an east west direction. Prevailing winds are from north or from south east. In the 9 years we have hunted it ive never sat on a west or east wind.
