Well last year I bought the "Dog House" blind and had visions of "popping" up my blind in the dark before the light and shooting deer. Well It was the 60 * 60 also and that thing kicked my but! Its not bad, but trying to do it in the middle of the dark morning was a big issue for me. I might as well got on a bull horn and announced to the deer I was here! So last year I never used it and left it at home. This year I have a woods like yours privet and I hope theft is minimal. I set mine up a few weeks back and weather permitting will plan on leaving it up till after season. I think the more its up the more deer will get used to it. I also mainly put it up for my nephew. He cant sit still if his life depended on it!
