Scrub oak boughs with the red brown leaves still on themare good blind building material in Wisconsin, but more diffi-cult to obtain quickly and quietly. The oak boughs are toughto cut and the leaves rattle and rustle. Small evergreens makefine blinds. Often they are right there where needed and justrequire a little trimming or one more stuck in the ground tocomplete the job.
A right handed archer tries to find a location for his blindto the right of the runway. He faces the direction from whichthe deer are expected and should hold his shot until the deeris passing at his side. If the archer shoots at the deer comingtoward him, his blind is in his way, and he must either rise orshoot through it. Also an oncoming deer is a small target, butmore important, the deer is more than likely to change paceand direction so quickly that the shot will be ruined. If thearcher can refrain from movement until the deer is nearlybroadside to his shooting side, the deer is then not lookingin his direction, and will likely hold the same pace anddirection.
