How Do You Attract Deer to Your Blind?

Attracting deer to your blind isn’t just about luck…as it’s also about preparation, placement, and understanding deer behavior. From our experience building quality cedar deer blinds since 1993, we know that the right strategy paired with the right blind can make all the difference

Choose the Right Location First

Before you think about attractants, your blind needs to be in the right spot. Deer are creatures of habit, and they tend to follow consistent travel routes between bedding areas, food sources, and water. We recommend setting up along natural funnels, field edges, or well-used trails.

Our cedar ground deer blinds are designed to be permanent hunting locations or easily moved as patterns change throughout the season. What’s more, since they assemble in about 30 minutes and require no cutting or measuring, you can adapt quickly when deer movement shifts. A well-placed blind allows you to stay concealed while remaining right where deer already want to be.

Use Natural Attractants the Smart Way

Food plots, mineral sites, and legal bait (where permitted) can help draw deer into shooting range. The key is consistency and subtlety. Overdoing attractants can make deer cautious, especially in pressured areas. We suggest using natural foods common to your region so deer feel comfortable approaching.

Equally important is minimizing human scent. Our factory-direct cedar deer blinds help in this area by offering solid walls, a roof, and a floor that shield you from the elements and reduce scent dispersion. The natural properties of cedar also help blend your blind into the environment, making it less intrusive to wary whitetails.

Stay Comfortable, Stay Patient

One of the most notable advantages of hunting from a blind is comfort, which allows you to stay in the field longer. Deer often move during poor weather or colder conditions when other hunters have packed it in. Our blinds feature angled roofs with a wood structure, 30lb tar felt, and a corrugated steel covering that now comes standard. This design keeps you warm and dry in rain or snow and provides a safe, sturdy place to hunt with both bow and rifle.

When you’re comfortable, you’re quieter, more focused, and more patient, and it’s the patience that attracts deer as much as any tactic.
