I'm using a ground blind this season. Ameristep doghouse. Should I set it out and leave it now or just set it out when I'm hunting. I'll be mostly in a field or on the edges. If I leave it I'm worried about someone taking it. But I want the deer to be accusomed to it.

I don't think I would leave it. I don't think the deer pay any attention at all to a good ground blind. I think you could put it out the day of your hunt and be fine. I agree, I wouldn't want to chance it being stolen.

I put mine out the same day i hunt little hard in the morning but not bad, scout for a place to set it up a day or so before you go out.

The fabric will fade if you leave it out long.
