Treestand Question

[HFM]

I recently bought a treestand blind that I can apply very easily to my 15 foot ladder stand in hopes that it would give me an area to move a little bit with out being seen. From past experiences from hunting on the ground with a portable ground blind I have noticed if the deer are not used to it they are more prone to spook from the blinds presence. What I like most about my ladder stand is even though it is larger than a traditional tree stand I never had problems with it spooking the deer the day I put it in a tree. So my question is will the blind I put around the top of my stand have a positive or negative effect to my hunt?

It's hard to say, the does spook at seeing a mosquito early in the year so I'm thinking it would be somewhat of a concern. Why not just put it up a week ahead of time, give the deer some time to adjust then you shouldn't have to worry about a thing. I don't see it as something to loose sleep over, if any thing some will be alerted to it, stare at it for awhile then go back to feeding.

Hang and Hunt the same day. Depends on what kind of cover your in too. If you have somewhat good cover already they probably wont mind as much. Itll probably just remind them of a big squirrels nest

The thing with the blinds is they are set eye level for them, think about if someone set one in your kitchen you also would pick it off really quickly once you get above eye level it's alot harder for them to pick off.

A huge key to setting up all ground blinds is to brush them in very well. I have moved ground blinds and hunted in them that same evening and with a good amount of brush to break up the outline, you will be in business.

No brushing in of the blind and its a bad deal.
