Default Late Season Box Blind

Ok here it goes, I recently built a 10 foot wooden box blind (08/24/13) and i've been hearing from some of the guys in the my club that it's too close to the season opener 10/12/13 (muzzle loader) and may affect deer patterns in the area....what's everybodys opinion on this? thanks in advance and good luck this season.

Thanks John, I was thinking that when I built it but i caught a little heat from some of the other guys! I even considered not hunting it until the rut in early/mid November (south GA)

Garm,
Just brush it in good and don't "live" there between now and then.
BTW I didn't see that anyone but you is going to set there so what"s their problem. You think they would be happy that if the deer are avoiding your blind that those deer should go towards their blinds and they will see more deer. IMHO

2 to 3 weeks they wont even think about it, Sounds like the other guys are wishing they had one like.

I put mine up and that evening there were deer on the camera 30yds from where the stand is...Id make sure you put a lock on the door just to keep others out of there...they may be trying to discourage you from hunting there so they can...just my opinion...
