I've got one and have used it a few times. First off let me say I'm not much of a bling hunter. I have a really hard time sitting still so I mainly spot and stalk or still hunt. I always have it in the truck and use it when I find a hot crossing or something like that.

I have used it in soybeans and on plowed ground. It sets up quick and you can put one just about anywhere. But it doesn't give you any protection from the top and you don't have a lot of concealment but it does work. Don't know that I'd buy another one but the wife bought me this one.

If you are hunting Casper, they are a must have.

My friend bought one that has 3 sides. We went coyote hunting several times together and I honestly lost him a couple of times when I went to set up the caller and decoy. I knew where he was but you really really had to look hard to see him. They work well. I need to get one but it's hard for me to get out coyote hunting as much as I used to.

We have on our deer lease in Maryland and have used it for 2 years now. Been nice to use when hunting the edge of standing corn or the edge of fields.

Have seen some decent bucks come within range and we have taken probably a half dozen doe with bow using it.

I like technology or advancement as much as the next guy...camo, scent blocker, blinds, stands, calls...whatever you want to use is fine with me. I would never try to tell another guy how to hunt.

BUT everytime I see some new wonder thing I am reminded that my Grandfather used to sit on a log wearing a red flannel jacket sipping hot coffee from a green thermos and he always managed to put a deer and elk in the freezer every year.

Mirror blinds are not a totally new invention.
The old market hunters would line their boats with mirrors and kill ducks ..I always thought they were outlawed ...

Just a personal opinion. these blinds or similar have been showing up on the market every couple of years for the past 10 or 12 years, and while the concept seems good, they just really do not seem to work all that well.

If a person is using one and is happy with the results then by all means stick with it and Congratulations on your success.


Even the rocks don't last forever.
