A turkey can use the same field for a month straight and then you can set up a blind right in the middle of the field and they don't care one bit.  I seem to actually do more hunting in a ground blind then I do runnin and gunnin now.  If you do your scouting and know where the turkeys want to be, then set up a blind and just be patient.  It is a lot more comfortable and you can move around if you need to.

The only time I've ever used one was in the middle of an extremely large open field with no cover. I usually dont like a blind if I can help it cause I want to be mobile if I need to but in this case, the bird would fly into the middle of a 100acre wheat field with his hens every morning and after the 3rd day, I got tired of it and grabbed my blind (I deer hunt out of it every once in a while) and ended up killing him.  They never noticed it...

I got busted soooo many times last year until I used one. I'm too antsy and end up shifting around a good bit.

Alot of tight lip gobblers where i hunt. Blind is a must...

The one time I have used a blind was in the wide open.....worked great.  It's usually too hot to be comfy in a blind for any extended period of time where I hunt.  The reason I used it on this hunt was rain......and my blind is waterproof ;D

in my experience turkeys dont pay a bit of attention to them but the deer are a different story

From what I've seen, turkeys don't mind blinds being set up out in the open...HOWEVER, when I set one up, I like to back it up to some cover, like a ditch or fence row or something.  That way, if the birds aren't coming in, I can sneak out the back to relocate and not be seen.
Same here I always like to have some kind of back ground.

Ameristep Hub blind is the ticket. I put in the edges. Turkeys don't care from my observations.
