Hunting out of a blind on a watering hole is the preferred method used by most hunters. It is recommended that you have a sturdy or reinforced blind to withstand strong winds. Eastern Montana is well known for strong steady winds that frequently gust up to 30-35 mph, and can at times maintain a steady 20-25mph “breeze”. Many hunters also use decoys during rut, which is typically 10-12 days beginning around Sept. 12th.
