    How close should your pop up blind be? ???

    Was on a new lease this year and took a doe and spike.
    Set my popup blind about 15 yards from my feeder.
    I had deer all over me all season, but no shooters.
    Is my set up to close?

    How far from your feeder is your setup?

    What do you recommend?

    15 is too close to me. I like 20-25

      If you had deer all over you all season, I would probably leave it right where it's at. I generally put mine 20-25 yards as well and then hand corn a little closer.

        I do a pop up about 50 yds off feeder, then hand corn two spots at 20-25 Yes between pop up and feeder.

          My blind is at 25 yards and I hand corn between blind and feeder.

              Mines 20 yards away and works great. Sound like you weren't having any problems, so I'd leave it.

                  My feeders are at 17 yards from 4 permanent box blinds. No issue getting shooters close. Leave it.

                    Deer, 20-25 yards. Turkeys, 5-10 yards.

                          I like between 20-25 yards from the feeder with the ability to shoot between 30-35 if needed.

                            I like them no closer than 30 yards. Give them a little room and you making a small noise or mistake can be more forgiving and spook less deer. Typically dear will also not eat exclusively directly under a feeder so you will still get those real close shots, especially if you hand corn.

                              I hand corn between ground blind and feeder.
