Hunting muleys from a blind

Anyone ever tried? I have a great spot along a heavily used game trail where I hunt but I'm not going to buy a tree stand so I was thinking about making a blind. Any thoughts?
 
mtnmayhem- Whatever gets a buck on the ground is the way to do it. We all use blinds when we hunt mule deer....trees, bushes, ravines are all blinds in a sense. You ever known a mule deer hunter to be out in the open so every deer in the canyon knows he's there? Good luck!

Well there is just very little cover in this spot so it would almost require some kind of man made structure to conceal and not look completely out of place.
 
It can't hurt to go in and make a blind before the season starts and get the deer used to it being there. If when the season starts they're still using that area, you're ready to roll.

I had a ton of mule deer walk past my Trekker T200 blind last year, some as close as 10ft. I had turkeys come up and peck on the side of it... pretty cool stuff. Got some pictures of it out the window.

Blinds work, if you have a spot the deer naturally travel past.

I've seen two different videos on the toppic, one use the double bull during an early highcountry above timberline hunt. the blind was set up in a saddle, in the wide open and they took a great buck, the other was a blind set up along a winter route in wyoming, in that case they filmed 100 deer and a pile of bucks walking, single file right in front of the blind. I'm sure other's have seen the videos, I dont remember the titles. . .
