Tried it a couple of times - seemed to scare the bejesus out of the deer. I am going to try it again this fall - setting up the blind a before season and leaving it.
That is what my dad did. We placed it about 20 yards from the feeder and left it there 2 months before the season started. It was weird because we had very little activity for the first week we put it there, but they got used to it.
I normally hunt out of stands, but I think I am going to give this a try. Not to mention I won't have to haul my gear up etc.. I may switch off one day hunt from my stand the next hunt from the blind.
