Hunting success isn’t just about being in the right place at the right time, it’s also about how well you prepare. Since 1993, we’ve been building quality cedar deer blinds designed to give hunters a reliable, comfortable, and long-lasting setup. However, no matter how well your blind is built, placement and preparation are key to keeping deer unaware of your presence. Here’s how to set up your blind to stay concealed and keep deer at ease.
Choose the Right Location for Your Deer Hunting Blind
Ideally, you want to choose a spot that naturally blends with deer movement. Look for deer trails, food sources, or bedding areas, but avoid putting your blind right on top of heavy traffic paths. Instead, position it 20–30 yards off the main route to avoid spooking deer with movement or scent. Our cedar hunting blinds are designed to fit into wooded areas naturally, so take advantage of trees, brush, or terrain to further break up your outline.
Minimize Scent and Noise
Deer have an incredible sense of smell, so it’s important to think about wind direction. Always set up your blind downwind of where you expect deer to appear. Once your blind is in place, resist making frequent trips back and forth, as human scent will linger. Unlike noisy popup blinds, our prefabricated cedar blinds assemble quickly and quietly in about 30 minutes, minimizing disruption in your hunting area. The solid cedar walls also help contain scent, thereby improving your chances of success.
Blend In and Stay Comfortable
Even the best blind won’t work if it stands out like a sore thumb. Use the natural environment, such as fallen branches, brush, or leaves to soften the edges and help your blind disappear into its surroundings. With our cedar design and steel-covered sloped roofs, your blind already has a natural, weather-ready look. Plus, staying dry and comfortable helps you remain still longer, which is one of the most effective ways to keep deer from noticing you.
