Turkey blinds for run and gun...

[Sevenyearsandcounting]

There's a $24.99 fan blind at field and stream and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with it? Seems a reasonable price and seeing as birds love the fields maybe a good investment.

It's the blind with the gun rest built in. Has anyone used one? And did you have any succes?

Haven't used one but I would load up with TSS to make sure you have enough range to get em if they hang up on you.

Ive been intrigued by the tungsten but I haven't found a good place to buy shells. They weren't selling them loaded yet online last time I looked.

I'm not one of the guys totally against blinds but you seriously don't need em  running n gunning once you get a gobble you need to squat imo not set blinds, dekes, Etc. I'd just set against some big tree

Ahh ok. Where I hunt we have a ton of corn fields and open area and the birds have started to use the fields as their primary hangout. Calling birds in the woods has become rarer every season. I just wanted to get something to help me get a bit of an advantage.

Several years ago, I purchased some thin plastic camo with partial cut outs scattered throughout, the kind to let the wind pass on through rather than act as a solid sheet. I took three pieces of 3' sections of river cane and attached it to both ends of a 8' piece as well as one in the middle for a portable, light weight, roll-up blind that I've used when I needed to set-up in a place with no cover out front but with a vegetation back ground. In the past two years, I've successfully used this blind to take gobblers. It also hides any movement such as slate/box calling or moving your shotgun, etc.

Best one hands down? is made by primos.  Quick easy, and can adjust height with adjustable poles.

Forked Lightning, what I've done in the past when using those kinds of blinds is set them up at an angle. Instead of pushing the stakes in perpendicular to the ground, I push them in at a slight angle which will reduce the overall height.  Also if you don't spread the stakes out as far as possible and make the neeting tight, the netting will sag in the middle and will give you a spot to place your gun.  This doesn't work as well if it is windy though.  Or you can just get a taller chair and shooting stick.

Got to agree. Running n Gunning  and Blinds don't go together.
Just MHO, been hunting (mostly run n gun) turkeys for 30+ years and have killed several truck loads of turkeys.... you will learn far more about how to hunt (and kill) turkeys by going as light as possible and just hunt. Good luck.

I run and gun and never use a blind. I try to carry as little as needed. If I'm gonna park my rear on a field I'll bring my pop up dog house blind

If you have big open area's like you said nothing wrong with using a small blind , it up to you what you want to carry.. if i listen to everyone on this forum i never would turkey hunt the right way...

I use an Ameristep 2 man chair blind and I love it. It weighs in at 16.6 pounds though they make a 1 person version that is only 6 lbs. I am a little gimpy from 2 car accidents and I can still carry it, my gun and my backpack with all my calls and an other pack with 2 decoys in it. I am going to try to get things a little more compact this year though.

When I first started turkey hunting I bought several blinds.  Some were more mobile than others.  I came to the point that it really wasn't worth carrying them for running and gunning.  It took time to set them up at each spot and the profile spooked the turkeys the other direction. 

With that said, one blind that actually worked right out in the middle of a cornfield and other areas was a ghost blind.   The mirrors are slightly angled towards the ground and reflect what ever vegetation is there.  I had hens come up and purr at their reflection in the mirrors!  They are a pain in the rear when it's windy or if there is dew/frost but other than that they worked pretty well.  They would be bulky to carry around though.  They come in 2 different heights.  It's worth paying a little extra for the taller one.  If interested I can share more details.  My preference is still going blindless for running and gunning!
