Hey guys, does anyone know where to get material to install camouflage see through window dressing to put inside my blind? Want to do something that will allow us to see out while the windows are open but not let the deer see us move around....
Bring on the suggestions......or ideas.

I bought a sheet of that perforated camo material at WalMart that is sold in like 10' x 4' sheets. I cut it into 1' x 10' strips and then cut it vertically into 10" strips leaving 2" solid across the top. I then used a staple gun and attached it around the windows in my blind. Works good.

You can buy most camo cloth by the yard at Hancock's or Joann's Fabric stores. Even camo see-thru mesh. Everytime my wife drags me in, I go check to see if the stuff is on sale.

i used plain black poly window screen. you could camo paint it if you wanted. it breaks up movement and heads looking out windows in the stand. my son was in the two windows.

I picked up some at Tractor Supply...Camo burlap for cheap.
I'd be a vegitarian too if bacon grew on trees.

You can get camo burlap at Bass Pro etal.
I'm going to try some black mesh (weed block) on my new blind since I already have a roll of the stuff.
You want to break up any silhouette of yourself. It is just as important to put it behind you as in front.

shade cloth from your local home improvement store works great

The older Army/Navy stores sell green and camo mosquito netting that works great. I thumb-tack it above the windows and then I can adjust it as I need to...provides cover, easy to see thru, lightweight, and airy.

I just made some for my blind. I used Camo mesh netting from wal mart. It was on clearance. It's not quite mosquito netting, but close. My blind is steel so we sewed some tiny rare earth magnets in the corners. I can quietly open, close, and even completely remove them. I doubled the material over and can still see through to the outside easily. Since its dark inside and light outside, you can see out, they can't see in. Less than $20 involved.
