Camoflauge ground stands for deer?

[Sheephead Slayer]

I have noticed more and more people use Camo tree/ground blinds during the rifle season. Is this legal? Seems to me it shouldn't be. I had a guy 50 yards from me in one on the ground, I didnt notice him for three hours, till I heard some noise. Seems odd to me to wear orange if your in a camo hut, but maybe it is legal??

It's legal, but I agree it doesnt make sense becasue of the blaze orange requirements... I think it would be hard to outlaw though, becasue I'm sure hay bail blinds, and blinds that are made of natural stuff like evergreen would be considered camo also.

I never gave it much thought, but I suppose it would be a good idea to hang an orange hat above it in a branch or something. I feel much safer 16' up in a tree.

Ameristep sells a blaze orange "cap" that fits any of their blinds.

I see no difference between ground blinds and the guys that have permanent stands with walls on them, you can't see the orange in either case. I say it's a risk you take on yourself if you want to hide behind the camo. It does allow the freedom of being able to move a little bit without the deer seeing you which is nice.

say_der,

Do you know the URL for Ameristep? I have always wanted a blind but because of all the trigger happy's out there, I did not want to sit in a camo blind on the ground. I tought about putting orange tapes/strips all over the area but then this might only confuse the trigger happy's.

I don't want to post an unauthorized link - it's the obvious URL - just add the .com

They don't sell direct from their site. They have links to all of their dealers.

I got a good deal on the Tangle Camo Outhouse about a month ago at the new super store in Lakeville. I'm going to order a blaze cap for it before muzzleloader season opens.
