Default 1st night out with my new snow blind

Well, I had two does and this little buck all within bow range tonight and they didn't give my setup a 2nd look. It was cold and windy this evenings set and we had fresh snow that quit around 2:00 pm. Does moved through so quickly I had no chance for pics. Too lazy to shoot a doe tonight and have to drag it out..they did offer shots at 15 yds.This is a DB brand blind cover and it is on a Matrix. It is made out of a stretchy white manilla color cloth. I had to cut my own slits where I wanted them. It fits super tight and has no windflap and extra material tucks under the blind for scent control. I am happy with it. I would prefer to just buy a white blind some day..but it works. I will rig up some white curtains for windows I don't want open. Nice way to stay warm on cold windy days. I take my Lil Buddy heater...ah..life is good. Thought you might want to see it setup.













Blind at 20 yds



blind at 10 yds





Heater and extra propane tanks fit in this backpack perfectly

That looks slick!

If it was me, I'd maybe try to brush it in a little more. Maybe it isn't needed, though. Just a head thing for me.

Looks good, but solid white doesn't seem to be quite rightin that setting.

Always a skeptic out there. No, just joking. Actually he's right though. It would look more "natural" with just a bit of break-up. Speaking of break-up. Isn't that snow camo in that one pic from Skyline (Horizon pattern)? That's what I use in the snow and when I hunt Alberta. It is made in Canada.
