Title: New blind
Post by: Dragonfly on October 06, 2010, 04:49:50 PM
Anyone seen the "Ghost Blind" yet or have one?  Looks pretty crazy and cool but I wonder how it works.... thought about getting one for a disabled friend to use for bow hunting.

I'd be curious to see what would happen if the game your hunting walked in front of it and seen it's own reflection  * hi *

I met a guy with one last year, its a bear to lug around but he swears by it...

would have to be under 5 feet from the blind for that to happen due to the angle of the tilt.

Maybe they could make a whole suit out of it. You would be the ultimate "PREDATOR" then !!! Roc  *up* *up*

The lugging around would be my main concern and would the sun not reflect off of it?  I'm not sure I buy the angle, but never had one so cannot be sure.

As clumsy as I am, I'd bust the glass for sure. 

Now, like Shad, if they throw in the lady to help set it up and hunt... I think I'd be interested :) 

I'd love to see one in person to rid me of all the skepticism.  I am from the Show-Me State  *up*

 I passed a booth were they were selling a mirror type blind at the convention last year.  There was a video running showing a guy hidding behind one of these things and sneaking up on a pile of turkeys in a field.  I just see this as a unethical way of not hunting but, killing turkeys.

 Jason,  I've taken a friend in a wheel chair turkey hunting several times.  We set the chair on top of a piece of plywood were he can turn 360 on his own.  He uses a short burlap blind attached to four pieces of 3/8 rebar for the corners.

KP,
     Thats a great idea.  I'll discuss it with him.  He is in a wheelchair, doesn't hunt turkey but misses bowhunting deer.

 He would bring two pieces of plywood with him, and would have me lay one down in front of the other to get him to the places he wanted to hunt.  He would work the heck out of me.  We spent 45mins, getting to a place he wanted to hunt.  After an hour are so we had 12 jakes within 40 yards and he would NOT shoot.  He sauid they were all to far for his 20 gauge....... >!!   and would not let me talk him into it.... :)   I need to call him this year to see if he would be willing to take me again... ;D
