So was at work and they are putting in new windows next door on an office building. Anyway we got to talking and I was telling him about our business and we were talking about hunting. Then he goes, you should see the blind we made out of old plexiglass mirrors that came out of a work out facility. This is the result:

If they fly into plain glass, I am sure this could get exciting.

Bet the quail do. Built a bow blind in a bush and used the army netting to cover it. Had 3 coveys fly in and hit the side of the stand.

I had an owl try to join me one evening in the blind, I won, he left and I definitely made sure I closed it up good that evening. up

Same thing I was thinking. Also, what if a BIG buck is in a nasty mood and wants to fight. And he sees 'another buck', comes charging in antlers down and hell bent to rid the environment of the 'intruder'?????

That is how deer end up in office buildings. They see their reflection and crash through the window. confused2

I have heard many stories of deer going through sliding glass doors. I am sure this would make for the same result.
IMHO I think mirrored blinds are novelty item. Once the deer get used to a blind, feeder, trough etc. They do not care what it looks like. If looks mattered we would have mirrored feeders too. God knows them huge protein feeders are an attention getter.
Now there's an idea, make a blind that looks like a giant protein feeder, you would actually attract deer.
