So it's like a ghost turd? You know you left it there but you just don't see it Lol. Sorry could not resist. As far as the blind goes I have no opinon because I have not used one.
You can't fix stupid but you can numb it with a 2x4

hmmmmm. . . . . .
never seen one of those. it looks neat in the little video clip, but i'm afraid with my luck, the big boy would come along and try to charge his own reflection. ( or a hog- murphy always seems to find me)

let's just say this, I used it one hunt, followed all the set up directions, couldn't get it to stay up at all in the lightest wind, threw it under a cedar bush where I assume it still resides. I told the new leaser where it was, so maybe he'll find it and figure it out. Honestly though, for the price, it's cardboard coated in foil.

Ft. Worth Cabela's has one on display. It looks like a gas station bathroom mirror to me.

Had it for many months before bow season started last year. Comes with a protective film over the shiny side. Once removed, first time the wind caught it (even though I had it set up for "high wind" the shiny part was sratched to heck.
If you must have one, I think there's a youtube video or something that shows you how to make your own for real cheap. Seems like someone posted it on here last season when someone asked about the ghost blind. I think I posted on that thread as well if you want to go into my post log and find it, but ur better off just building a brush blind IMO.

You can make your own for a lot cheaper. My buddy just made one this year to take to kansas where he is going to be hunting basically an open field and couldnt find any cover to hide behind.

Is he going to bow hunt behind it in the open field? I hunt in Kansas and for rifle season, I just lay on terraces in the open fields. What did he make his out of?

I just returned mine to cabelas. I set it up in the yard and even though it looks really good as far as camo goes, if there is a breeze it started to wobble which ruined the camo look. So I staked it down for high winds like it said in the instructions and it still wobbled. Plus I didn't like the idea of the back being open. Where I hunt there is about 6 different directions the deer will come in from and I didn't wan to risk it.
