I agree!
That's funny because it reminds me of my cousins hunting property, My cousin bought an old farm house that hadn't been lived in for 20 years or more.
Long story short ,he hunted out of an Outhouse in the back yard and took many deer just sitting inside it( it was a double seater!,he just cut a shooting window in the door!)

Looks great now, why change it. If you have to wear orange wile inside it, it may as well be orange. At least no one will shoot at you. The deer don't care what color it is and will know it's there anyway, so you're only hiding it from people right? I have taken so many deer where it is legal to do so, from bright colored pickups that were running so I could stay warm that I don't worry too much about the color as long as other hunters can see me. Some of the biggest bucks I have killed I have stepped out of a running pickup to shoot while sitting in a field somewhere. Since it's perfectly legal to drive around with a loaded and ready gun in Missouri a truck is by far the locals favorite blind. But you have to be off the roadway and out of the truck to take the shot. Anyway nice blind, I have several that look about the same that work fine without camo. Just watch the noise, scent, and visible movement in front of the window. Having the interior the same color as what you wear is a good idea though.

No paint, only stain to preserve the wood.
This is the best idea, in my opinion. Buy a small roll of the lefy netting from somewhere like Cabelas and you'd be set. Then, also as mentonioned, simply treat and staing the naked wood and that shooting house will last forever. Good luck and good shootin'

I do have to totally agree with the posts above that stress that the camo is really more for us hunters than the deer. Leave that house in the woods for a couple weeks and the deer could care less.

There are already all kinds of deer activity around one of our newest shooting house additions,..... no cam required. lol

Camo panneling. Just tack it on to the outside walls and cut out your window holes.
