Purchased a new blind

[xtolled]

Got the ameristep dog house 2 man blind with shoot through windows. Very excited to put it to use. Lots of room and seems real sturdy.

Is that a hub blind? Where'd us get it and how much?

The only problem I have had with blinds they stickout like a sore thumb if you dont brush them in or put them in a thicket I tried them for youth hunts the deer detec ted them right off so think about these things when you set up your blind I do use natural ground blinds I build out of brush or cane good hunting

I do have a good spot in a thicket picked out for it I also brush them in heavily to minimize that sore thumb appearance as much as possible. I have had good luck with them in the past. I usually set them up weeks before I will ever hunt out of them.

Mine never seemed to bother the deer. Sat right on the gas line and they acted like it wasn't there.

Anyone use a type of water repellent for their blinds? Wanting to know whats best for treating them so they dont dry out?

[terry08]

Never used anything. Just bring them in every year. But they won't last forever.

Just saw this on the outdoor channel yesterday. seemed a bit crazy to me but the fella mixed mineral spirits with silicone caulk and went over the seams. It seems to me that would give you some oily/stinky residue, but he swore by it. Can't remember the show.

Thanks hubtech will check into that.

I heve done thisto tents before, the WHOLE tent. It works really well. It mimicks what is put in syl nylon tent material. A tube of silicon caulk, 1/2 gallon of low odor mineral spirits. Takes alot of mixing time. Brush it on, leave it setup outside a couple days and youre good

Thanks gonna look into it.

I saw that same show yesterday.....I was wandering about the smell, can't remember the name of the show either.
