Upon further consideration, I did remember one downfall I had withtwo of my blinds. LOL.. Rotten little varmits!!! Field Mice, Squirrels, Or Rats, just love to chew on and steal anything they can carry off.[:@][&:]I had several blinds set for this last turkey season and 2 of them were vandalized by the little varmits. One of them they chewed a hole in the carry bag and stole the bag for the shockcord poles. The other was field mice, cuz I had them entertaining me one morning, running in and out of the blind. Till I heard them chewing on something and realized they were eating holes inmy carry bag. After I realized what they were doing, I was hunting field mice instead of turkey...lol [8D]

The Remedy, or at least a deterrent, would be to hang ANY gear you plan to leave in the blind.
