RE: burlap smell
I had to replace the blind material on my stand last week. I had a piece of camo burlap in the basment it had gotten wet and had a strong burlap and mildew smell. I installed the burlap while hunting one evening over my food plot. That same night I had many pictures of deer on my trail cam. I thought I wouldn't be able to hunt at this stand till the burlap aired out but the deer didn't seem to care.
