Pop-up blinds are for more than just turkey and deer hunting. PH Jamy Traut uses one often when waiting for leopard over bait in Namibia. Not only does the blind hide Jamy and his client from a cat's sharp eyes, but the fabric helps contain scent, too. However, as this video shows, the pre-made blind is only the beginning of a good setup.

Catch the full play-by-play of Adam's leopard hunt in the upcoming March issue of American Hunter magazine. Stay tuned!
