Got some clear cut birds I might attempt for youth what's you guys' thoughts on popping one up morning of the hunt?? too risky and might make them suspicious, I can see where he's been strutting recently but there isn't much cover especially for a kid and myself

I’d do it

turkeys basically ignore pop up blinds, do it.

They are not that smart..... just conceal the blind a little bit and by the time they figure it out they should be dead.

Lol I feel like they’re smarter than me most of the time

Do it. I have a buddy in a wheelchair who hunts them out of his truck, says they don't care and from what I've seen I believe him. Just dont move.

Ground blinds are cheating and should be outlawed

When they outlaw blinds, only outlaws will have blinds…

This is what I've learned also.

Teach your child to be still… if he/she moves and spooks a gobbler then that’s how they learn. I wasn’t taught to use blinds and won’t teach my boy to use them. If you want one then just pop it up cause they don’t care

🤣🤣🤣

Hell I killed one one time resting the barrel of my shotgun on the side hook of a bulldozer blade that had been driven in and parked in a field the afternoon before. He strutted right up to it just like he owned the thing. If they dont mind a very large yellow bulldozer, they shouldnt mind a pop up blind.

Their brains the size of a peanut

I also killed one leaning over the back tire of a backhoe.

Blinds are ghey. Sit to him like a man.

I love em. I pop mine up 10 days after the scratch feed is “gone” from the food plot. Turn my iPad to march madness, pop in my ear pod things and open a cold drink. They will come by eventually and as soon as they get within 90 yards I smoke them with my TSS. Kill 2-3 a year that way

Rainy morning, stay home, get wet or get in a blind, I have a few close to a road to get in on a rainy days.
