I've not heard that I'll look into it.

I've always been under the understanding they have the best eyesight out of dang near anything in the woods.

Thanks for the info.

Here's a question- has anybody ever tried one of the "chair blinds" that they sell at Cabelas? It looks like it would work, not as heavy as a pop-up blind, but not a lot of room to move around I suppose?
Before I consider buying one, I'd like to hear the pros & cons from real consumers.

They can see colors, but as has been mentioned it's ANY movement that they will pick up in a heartbeat. When they are in close I will swear they can see you blink an eye their eyesight is so acute. Where I see deer a long way off and am out in the open and move a little bit, the deer don't run. Put a turkey in that same situation and he's gone!!!

Good Thread! We have even taken two blinds on placed them side by side in the middle of a pasture when we have 4 to 5 people or kids we are taking out. Gets to be a lot, but plenty of people to carry all the stuff.
