RE: Ameristep blinds or any type of blind
Deer will pick up on any strange object that wasn't there before. I've hunted from pop-ups for several years now, and while it does spook them at first they calm down once they realize that the new object doesn't move, then they usually just go about their business. The newer ones with the blacked out interiors seem to spook them more than the older ones, something about those "black holes" I guess. I keep my windows zipped up to "murder slits" to avoid this.
