I had my hunting blind in a hay field for several years. I would put it there a couple of weeks before deer season and it would be about 150 yards from the nearest bush line. Mine wasn't a pop-up but my 4 x 6 ice-fishing shack. Mine was on private property with the only way in there was thru the farmer's yard. The nearest public road was 3/4 of a mile away and this hay field was out of sight of the road due to being surronded by bush on 3 sides. I parked my truck about 100 yards behind me down a bit of a slope. Several times I spooked deer as I left to go home. They wouldn't run far.
I was the only hunter on that land for a good 10 years and after the season had been on for a week or so the hunting pressure on neighboring lands pushed the deer onto this 1/2 section.
