He’ll let some young punk deer step out and get shot. He’ll smell that coffee, and tell the young buck.. Ok boy she’s all yours. |

that if you buy a new ground blind to be sure and let it air out for at
few days before setting it up to hunt. The fabric will have a slight
smell that the deer can pick up. Also it’s good to brush the blind
well as deer will notice it as something new in the area and spook. I think you would have a
good chance of getting away with drinking coffee and eating during the
rut since they have only one thing on there mind. |

Also it’s good to brush the blind well as deer will notice it as something new in the area and spook (I have seen them blow a newly placed and empty ground blind). I always try to find a downed tree top to help conceal the blind, and then add additional brush as needed. This is especially important for bow hunting but not necessary when gun hunting if you’re going to be shooting deer far away. |

Re:Food and Drink in ground blind 09/15/2008 8:49 AM | | | I would agree with the post earlier that a deer’s sense of smell is very good and hard to beat - your only advantage is the wind in this situation...if you get up in a stand, you have better odds that you will not get busted if the wind changes direction or swirls regardless of where the deer are traveling, but on the ground it is tough...our archery season opened this past Saturday and I spent the evening in a chair blind - hot, humid, and almost no breeze...all I had in the blind was water and I still got winded |

Gold Member | | 3. Re:Food and Drink in ground blind 09/14/2008 11:45 AM | | That’s very good advise from Predator1! I can only add a little to that. I always advocate sent free even high in a climber stand. The last thing I want is a deer to be scanning the trees looking for the source of a smell. For lunch or a snack I like to take food that is native to the area that I’m hunting. For example here in the south we have muscadines that grow in the wild so I gather these and freez them. Then during season I put the frozen berries in my day pack and by noon they are ready to eat, and along with drinking water you have a good hunter’s meal/snack. A familiar smell like muscadines that are in season does not spoke the deer and will even attract them. This works well in the early bow season when muscadines are available. However, once I have finished my snack I will eventually chew some RealTree gum for about 30 minutes. Along with all my sent blocker close and sprays, I’m back to being sent free again. I hope this will prove helpful. Happy Hunting! |

Re:Food and Drink in ground blind 09/12/2008 3:35 PM | | Well wildcard a deer’s nose being what it is . one of its best defenses, early season on the graound i would not drink coffee in the blind and i would eat food that is sweet smelling like peanutbutter or something like that . beacause i am a firm believer that a deer can smell meat eaters aka predators . and i think you would have a good chance of getting away with drinking coffee and eating during the rut since they have only one thing on there mind. but then again why take the chance of getting busted on the deer of a life time. i think you might be able to do it if you hunt the wind. and or out of a tree stand being it is up high . well i hope some of this is helpful to you.

Member | | 1. Food and Drink in ground blind 09/12/2008 11:26 AM | | Hello all. My question is, can I drink coffe in my ground blind, and eat my lunch in my ground blind? I am affraid that the deer will smell these things a mile away, and not get anywhere near my blind. I assume that drinking water in the blind is ok, but maybe its not. If someone could please answer these questions, I would appreciate it verry much! |
