That's why you have the old saying "A blind blinds you."

I have no issue with people using them but I just can't do it

Just like anything else.  Hunt how you enjoy it.  I personally don't prefer blinds but I don't like peanut butter either.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

No for me, need the freedom to move around.

they do have their advantages when the temps are in the single digits during whitetail gun season but I'm not a fan during gobbler season

I bowhunted turkeys from a blind for ten years staright, zero gun hunting.  Boy did it teach me a lot, mainly patience, not wanting to move as much I regularly had birds showing up that I would have normally been long gone!

I only personally killed one bird from a blind with a gun, horrible weather, but have guided countless people from them, they are pure poison for those pesky field birds that strut out in the middle of a 500 acre field!

Do I like hunting from them?  Sure is better than getting soaked or freezing to death in poor weather!

No, blinds are not for me.  I want my back up against a tree and the ability to move quickly if I want to.  Being inside a blind dulls my senses.  It's hard enough for me to hear now without being in a blind.

Bought one 5  years ago. Still have not used it. A friend has a couple, one on each side of his field. I cannot enjoy them. On one hunt a big tom came out following hens he was fanned out. My friend rolled him it was a treat for me to witness that. They do work and the birds don`t seem to mind them.

No. I like to remain fully mobile!!

Yes for kids and inexperienced hunters, teach them as the experience level goes up. All my kids were in a blind first, then worked into being self sufficient enough to get out. All a preference, no wrong on this topic.

I have used a blind at times, but they are cumbersome,  and slow me down.I want mobility as a priority.
