Ground Blinds in Water

[kontekontos]

How often do you guys use your layout blinds in like flooded bean and rice fields. Or how often do you use them around pounds or water lines, somewhere besides just a dry field.

I have used them while in Texas around small ponds and flooded fields. They prove to be way deadlier than permanent blinds and it is easier to change locations.

I've used my finsher and power hunting in flooded area all the time. As far as small pond and pot hole, if their isn't enough natural cover I'll use my blind in a second. I don't have a neo tub yet but about 99.9% of the time it was worth it.

We've been hunting out in west TX for some years now, and i wouldnt trade my layout blinds for anything out there!! we use them in dry fields, along the edges of tanks (thats a pond in west TX:D ), and everywhere in between. They have proven to be deadly for the same reasons....little cover, mobility, and you can get right on the edge of the water with them.

A west TX tank or pothole + powerhunter = in your face action!!!!

On the edge of these waters this can be deadly !

I'll use my 3 Finishers on a Island bank in a minute, don't have the neo-tubs, everybody just uses chestwaders, the water doesn't bother any of us, not to mention it sometime washes out the Dorito chips down around the bottom.

I use them in sheet water all the time!!!! I used them without the Neo-Tubs and just put on a pair of waders. The water will not hurt the ground blinds, but some water will seep in. I now will be using the Neo-Tubes this year just to keep all the stuff in the blind dry.

We use them a lot. I guide in South Dakota and this year as well as the last has been particularly wet. A lot of flooded out areas in the middle of corn and bean fields. Early in the year this is were the birds want to be. We are able to use these areas with clients comfortably and dry by using the Neo Tubs. This is a great addition to anyones arsenal.

I use mine now and then on water edges or in very shallow water with a neotub. This year, the water is down in many areas here, and the cover is SO far away from the waters edge that a ground blind and neotub is the ticket.

Here are some pictures from a hunt in a rice field. This is the second of two hunts that we limted out. They never knew we were there. They were all shot in our face. We were in finishers w/ neotubs.

I love layouts on the waters edge. I actually use them on the edge of salt water to hunt harlequins allot of the time. The birds like to sit right next to shore and it makes for a fun in your face hunt. We also use them for puddlers on the edge of ponds.
