Almost invisible blind

Biggie Hoffman · March 06, 2009, 03:14:00 PM

I put up a lifesized picture of some apple trees once thinking it would fool the deer,

A few days later I went back, and someone had put up a full size picture of some deer..........

Two comments . . .

1. I read, a long time ago, that mirror blinds were illegal for hunting game. These were used by goose hunters at one time and were considered too concealing and legislation was written to prevent their use. If the legislation is still on the books this could be problem for these blinds.

2. I was watching a show on Special Forces equipment and they used mylar reflective sheet about 3' wide and 2' high that rolled up like a scroll. It was held open with a plastic stay. They had to approach a farm house surrounded by mown fields and no cover. From the farmhouse it all appeared normal but there were actually a dozen Special Forces 25 yards from the house. They simple put the mirrored mylar in front of them and crawled right up to the house.

3. I can see a big buck in rut see his reflection and "bam" - you've got a great story to tell.

It looks heavy and immobile. I think the reflection of sun would spook game. And it also looks expensive. And it looks like it would get super hot inside it in warm weather.......not for me.

I'd hate to even ask how much that thing costs.

I went to one link posted by someone here and it was $300 for a small fold out wall thing and like $600 for a larger one. Pretty insane..........and non-traditional!

$450 for the 4 panel
