Good. Now it\u2019s time to get down to business, set the blind and get to hunting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Set It Right\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to setting your ground blind, there\u2019s a lot to consider, and I see lots of ground-blind goers foil their waterhole plans with poor placement. I know it\u2019s not always possible but if you can, get your blind out several days before you plan to sit it. Even getting it out the afternoon before your first hunt will help. If you are able to get the blind out a week ahead of time, you can place it between 20 and 25 yards from the water source in the wide open. If an early deployment isn\u2019t possible, keep these tips in mind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Don\u2019t crowd the water source. We\u2019ve already noted that pronghorn can be skittish over water and a newly popped-up cube will spike their anxiety if that cube is 15 to 20 yards away from where they like to drink. You\u2019ve been practicing shooting all summer, right? Back that blind off to 35 or 40 yards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_4784-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pronghorn Part III: Setting The Blind\" class=\"wp-image-113763\" title=\"Pronghorn Part III: Setting The Blind\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_4784-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_4784-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_4784-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_4784-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Trust your practice! If you can&#8217;t get your blind out early and there is no cover or structure around the water source, don&#8217;t crowd the tank. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lots of tanks and ponds have old ranch equipment (posts, feed bunks, pipes, tires, windmill blades and the like) around them. A tall cactus or sagebrush may be found as well. If your water source has any of the above, use it to your advantage. Set your blind in the middle of a junk pile, behind a feed bunk or to the side of a sage bush. This makes a massive difference. Most of the time, pronghorn, even if the blind is set only hours before, will pay a sparsely blended-in blind any notice. It doesn\u2019t take much. If you find a situation like this, don\u2019t be afraid to set that blind at 20 to 25 yards.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_5555-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Pronghorn Part III: Setting The Blind\" class=\"wp-image-113764\" title=\"Pronghorn Part III: Setting The Blind\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_5555-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_5555-1-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_5555-1-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_5555-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">If any available cover, structure or objects are found around the water source, use them to help blend the blind in.

Go to your local <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/ati-products-appear-mc-sports-stores\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt-365-pronghorn-part-iii-setting-the-blind\" title=\"Pronghorn Part III: Setting The Blind\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1626\">sporting goods store<\/a> and invest in some heavy tent stakes. The western winds are fierce and will rip a ground blind that hasn&#8217;t been properly anchored out of the ground and send it tumbling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0545-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Pronghorn Part III: Setting The Blind\" class=\"wp-image-113768\" title=\"Pronghorn Part III: Setting The Blind\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0545-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0545-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0545-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0545-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Wind will play heck on your blind. Anchor it properly \u2014 both inside and out \u2014 with heavy-duty tent stakes. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to wind, regardless if I set my blind the week before or the same day, I play the predominate wind for the area and don\u2019t fret about it. Yes, speed goats can smell, but they aren\u2019t nearly as olfactory-wary as deer and elk. Typically, even if cattle have been out of an area for a grip of time, the heavy smell of ammonia remains. Not to mention the fact that the rancher typically drains his bladder each time he stops to check the tank. A good ground blind will help contain your scent, and I recommend going the extra mile and investing in an Ozonics unit. The combination of a good ground blind that offers solid scent containment in conjunction with an Ozonics unit will beat the nose of a speed goat most every time. In fact, the last three pronghorn I\u2019ve killed from a ground blind has been with the wind blowing right at the water source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get a nice, roomy blind that has easy-to-manipulate windows. You\u2019re going to be spending long, hot hours in your ground fortress and you don\u2019t want to feel cramped. Chances are you\u2019ll be toting a small cooler and other gear, and you want to have plenty of room. Plus, a sizeable blind allows you to hide toward the back, which boosts concealment. A comfortable chair is also paramount.
