Bow hunting blind location/time ?

Set it up this week and leave it. I would be less concerned with the time of day compared to how close you do it to opener. Get it out there early so they can get use to it.

If you see them but they are not in range don't be afraid to leave the blind to head them off if you know where they are heading. Can't really stalk them as easily as you can set up and ambush them just watch the wind and get there before they do.

Good luck

I use running shoes and watch every step I take the other key is also to walk slower than the deer......I mean really slow take your time and use the cover to break up your outline and don't ever make eye contact look under the brim of your hat and walk slumped over a little.
I Learned the last part from an Indian guide where I was able to stalk a herd of elk out in the open from 1.25 miles up to 116yds. I was trying to get even closer but ran out of day light.
Their were a few other things they did to get close to deer that I still don't understand how it works my next hunt there I will ask more questions. They would run and I mean haul ass in the woods to get ahead of the deer or run right by them and the deer didn't move or spook in fact they would follow them to some degree. Those guys never shot over 20yds with trad gear. Just to watch them was worth the hunt. They would hunt by smell if you could believe that totally amazing hunters. This is also were I learned and saw first hand that all animals have a six sence and they used it to their advantage but again something I didn't understand completely.
I also saw how they break horses by suffocating horses with their bare hands. Once the horse fell over they would breath into their nose and revive the horse. With in 30 minutes they were bare back riding a horse that had never had a human on its back before.
I've been trying to get back there to hunt since 2011 hopefully next year
