I went to some fabric store one day a few years back. I was looking for a back drop material for photos on my website. I found a material that has a light leathery suede feel. its a tan and black color with broken patterns through out it..it is about 4 foot wide and they had it on clearance with about 30 feet on the roll for like 25 bucks...it was enough to cover two 2 man stands. It blends in very well once the leaves drop.
Its lasted three years and still strong. I zip tied it to the rails. Deer dont seem to mind it. I left it out all year last 2 seasons..one stand had new burlap on it and I laid this over the burlap. The burlap tore last year and is rotted off this year... I should just cut the ties and remove it each year...
point is keep an open mind and dont be scared to go in a fabric store...LOL but I shop at the make-up counter for some fish painting supplies so... i done lost my man card a time or two
