You need to check out a "Ghost Blind". It's a 2 or 4 panel mirror that sets up slightly angled down to keep sun from reflecting off it. As a person who literally checks out most new equipment in hunting with exception of scent products (waste of money). I can say with confidence that this is one of the best products I've used in a while. I have walked 20-30 yards away setting up decoy for yotes and turn around and cannot find it. I have to actually search for it sometimes if I don't mark it with landmark. Simple to set up and simple to carry if you get the separate carrying case (highly recommended). Took it to Illinois last year and it was the hit of the lodge. Everyone wanted to try it. You can set in the middle of a field and disappear right in the open. This happened in Illinois twice with deer getting within 15 yards and not have a clue. Check it out, its worth the time. For you tree hunters check out the old school "Tree Saddle". Another terrific but not well known product.

Love it, but WAY out of my price range.

yes it is up there in price. But it will give you an advantage you never knew was possible. Put the wind in your favor and sit virtually anywhere you want in a matter of 2 minutes or less. The video and pictures on internet ARE NOT TRICK VIDEO OR PHOTOS. That is really how it looks once set up in position.

I'm 40. But keep myself in shape mainly because of hunting. Makes it so much more pleasant to handle all that comes with the season.

I will attest to the tree saddle being a sound investment. I really enjoy mine during archery season.

The tree saddle definitely has its place. I dont use mine all that often, but when you need it you need it and certainly has allowed me to hunt places that would otherwise not be possible.
Its just another tool in the smart and versatile hunters bag of tricks. Just like these new blinds. I have looked at them for a couple years now and havent yet bought one, but with 2 boys hunting with me now, I can foresee one in my truck before too long!

To see this blind in action, check out the fixed version of post "How to disappear in plain sight (fixed)".
