The only real factor you left out is "How long has that tent been out there?"

If I were to guess, you don't know for sure. I would think that tent has been there for some time and the deer got acclimated to it, ie, got use to it because it's been there a while. Deer will get use to just about anything provided they get time to adjust to it's appearance. I've seen deer walk by farmers' equipment quite often... and we're talking mere yards from them and that's because they got use to it.

If perhaps that tent was there just recent, like that day, and the deer had that reaction, I have to ask them what they were drinkin'? LOL!

======================

I'm not too surprised in the replies thus far. I knew it would be difficult to pull off by throwing something new in the deer's face and hoping to have success. I know how to camo, be stealthy and build natural material ground blinds, but these manufactured blinds along with the style I had hoped to use them will be a challenge.

I don't want to throw up one of these blinds and leave it just for the sake of leaving it, but "if" I find a place where a blind would be ideal and I'm not scared of it being stolen, I'd pre-set it for a week or so and see what happens.

If any of you have additional comments, etc, I'm interested!

Thanks for all the replies.
