Default Ziiiiiiiiiiiip!

I'm assuming most of you store bought ground blind users out there have blinds where the door zips up.

I did a lot of early morning hunts this year where I settled into my blind an hour or so before legal shooting time. While I took all the precautions of slipping into my hunting spot as quietly and as unnoticed as possible, I can't help but think the "ziiiiiiiiiiip of the blind door opening and the "ziiiiiiiiiiiip" of it shutting pretty much negates all of my stealthy efforts - especially in those dark hours in the woods when you can hear a pin drop.

Am I too worried about this? I don't think so and before anyone says "that's why I'd never use a ground blind," I believe I've found a solution. I'm going to make a small, thick camo curtain to hang over the doorway slit from the inside so I can make a silent entry from now on.
