A word to the wise about blinds. There are many inexpensive blinds out there. Some good some bad. Be sure to pay attention to the fabric. Some of the commercial blinds out there reflect the sun like a mirror. That doghose blind is one of the shiny ones. A big old shiny surface tends to catch a deers eye! The high end blinds like Double Bull don't shine. I picked up one this year by Eastman for $150 on sale and it has a very nice leafy fabric that doesn't reflect the sun. A friend borrowed it and set it up. When I went to take it down, I hadn't been there but knew exactly where it should have been. Even knowing where to look, I was only 20 yards awaywhen I finally spotted it.
