How do you refer to your hunting blind? Do you have a name for it Or, is it simply by it's location?

Hunted for years on a ranch with named blinds, so when I bought my own place, I carried on the tradition. Examples - High School, Spaceship, Water Can, etc.

Oat Patch
Cedar Tree (only one on the place big enough for a seat blind in 1978)
Elm Tree-Brush Patch (tree type, location)
The Outhouse (box blind, had a wooden chair with a circle hole cut in it)
Mimi's Blind (she suggested putting a blind in that spot)
Frankie's Blind (he was the first person to hunt this new box blind)
The Grave (have a grave from the late 1800s on our place)
The Tollbooth (Slanted roof box blind, metal, looked just like a little tollbooth. Also sat at the junction of two roads)

Names. I've always had names. Even when blinds were provided and numbered. #18 I named "Barely Legal". My pastor came and hunted out of it. That was awkward. #21 I named "Blackjack." The other lease members seemed to enjoy them.

I have the North 80 and the South 26 Blinds.
Other hunters have the ROW, Draw and Creek Blinds.

We have 2 blinds: oldest is “my blind” and the other is “Yens blind” (wife’s name).

We have a blind in the back we call 5 Star, since it generally has a lot of good animals, and sat in the middle of 5 shooting directions. We used to have a feeder at 782 yards we called Sniper Point. The shooting location was on top of a crown on a big hill, that over looked a valley down below. The feeder was eye level across the valley at 782 yards away going gently up the side of a hill. We killed a few pigs and deer there over the years. I need to get that feeder back up and running again!! Everything else on our place is named after the person who's blind it is, "Danny's bow blind in the back", etc (boring)

My main blind is used as much for thermal whacking as daylight hunting. I have a resident pair of Owl's that I hear every time I'm in it. Thinking on naming it Night Owl.

I like to ask as other folks can get quite creative with it.

I usually name them, though some are by location.

Have Mom’s blind, fenceline, the field, Dudley’s ( have no idea who Dudley is/was but his name is on the blind) and the ridge.

There's a spot that I have with a very pretty view. I'm considering adding a blind there, after I get the pushed brush piles burned. I'd call it "Comancheria."

We name the hunting areas, as each one can have multiple blinds/stand locations.

Swamp- 1 blind 1 tripod stand (there is technically an old ladder there we don't use do to comfort, but it could be used, prob need to put a stand down there somewhere)
Deer haven- 1 blind, but thinking of adding some other stand locations here
Pasture - 2 stands 1 ground blind
Small pond- 1 stand
Horseshoe- 1 tripod stand and one blind

Most of these are set up for bow hunting. Only blind set up ideally for rifle is horseshoe blind, but that I rarely used.


I like this topic, enjoy seeing the names people come up with or inherit

High Perch- 10 Foot Tower
Condo- 5 Footer that is Comfy
Nob Hill- Quad Pod on the hill, can see forever.....

we have well over 25 blinds - some are numbered while others are named -

Hollywood and Vine
Poncho's
New Road
Gasline
Pila
and on and on

Oso Seco
The Bluff
Boot Heel
Esau's Hide
The Swamp
El Centro
Grayson's Rock

At the old Sisterdale lease, many years ago, we had... Buzzard, Elm Bottom, Ghost Canyon (Hondo Crouch named the canyon), Nolan's, Spider, Outback, Thunder Mountain (it's on maps as "Dunner" mountain), and a few more I'm forgetting. 3200 acres of ruggedness that few could imagine is that close to Boerne/Fbg. It's all subdivided into (large) homesites now.

When we start hunting on new places we use numbers. As the blinds earn their names the numbers get replaced with the names. Our names come from location or memorable experience at said blind.

We have names but they aren’t exciting or anything.

Reds
Home Place
Terrell big
Kens
Cobb tripod

Gravel Pit
Feed Lot
Tank Battery
Pump Jack
River Right
River Left

Some of the blind names we have had: Badlands, Southwest Conference, Cowboy Bob's, Red Blind, Aunt Jemima, Waldorf, Peninsula, Coyote, Sandhill, Redgate, Empire State (30 ft tall), Pigpen, etc.....

Tall blind
25 Acre blind
Lover’s Lane blind
Hidey Hole

These are great. Appreciate all the input!

Have 4 blinds on our place, Don's waller (where dad fell in the mud), kettle stand ( when clearing brush to set it up we found a big old rusted out cast iron tea kettle, Hilltop (that one is probably self explanatory), and the Ringtail blind (my uncle got the crapola scared out him by a ringtail cat nesting in it).

Same here, one of our hunters came in that morning with his face all scratched up from said critter. I went out there & evicted him. A .22 revolver is a very handy tool.

Hangover

Bougie

Nosebleed

Shack

The Ghost Stand

Only one we had that was named. The member was a guy that paid his $, never came one time. We never saw him, so we started referring to him as Ghost. Someone put a stand in his area, The Ghost Stand.

All my blinds are numbered, but some still get nicknames
Buckwheat
Powerline
Canyon
Cliff

Similar as the “owl blind”. Had to wait for them to vacate but that blind was never the same.
