Thoughts on faded blinds

[DeerMan66]

I have a couple tree stand blinds that have faded over the past few years and now have a red tint to them. Other than faded the blinds are still in good shape. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether I should replace the blinds due to the fading or continue using them?

Unless they are damaged, I wouldn't bother replacing them, my shoot house just has tan paint and the deer don't care.

I wouldn't replace them.....most shooting houses are solid colors.... deer become accustomed to them over time....heck allot of camo patterns appear to be solid at a distance.....their still in good shape...they conceal your movement ...they keep the wind off of you....I'd hunt them.

This.

The day after we put up our huge solid black shooting houses, I have video of deer entering the field and freaking out. Two days later, the same group of deer entered the field and didn't pay the blinds a bit of attention and haven't since. Deer will quickly learn to ignore anything - even big things - that do them no harm 99% of the time.

Like others said,it only takes awhile for the deer to get used to them.

I would spray some water repellent on them and keep using them! That's what u do! As long as they aren't torn or the door isn't broke!

Thanks everyone for the input. I'm sure that I can use that money another hunting accessory...

I like the way you think!

They'll be just fine. As long as the deer don't associate them with humans, you're good.

Deer walk up to houses and barns. I wouldn't worry about it

Used to be that the most popular deer hunting clothing was red flannel - having a red tint to it is nothing to worry about
