It's bacteria that causes odor...I would dilute bleach w/ water slightly, and spray everything....

Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Look at the bright side. The deer won't smell you.

Same thing happened to mine. Three months later and we still cannot get into it so we brushed in a pop up and will be tearing the other one down.

blow it up with the buzzards in it.
I don't always shoot deer, but when I do, I prefer B&C's. I don't always shoot ducks, but when I do, I prefer banded ducks.

Rebuild, replace and then burn the old one.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

I had a squirrel or coon living in mine during off season. Trashed it! I mixed some bleach and water in a pump up and soaked it down in sept. Can still smell bleach but it's better than alternative!

Hunting in magnolia would be better in a gated community.

I had owls roosting in three of my blinds all summer. I purchased a respirator, bleach, a hand broom and a scrub brush. Pulled the mat and chair out. Threw the mat away. Vacuumed with a leaf blower reversed into an outdoor vacuum. Swept it all out. Straight bleached and scrubbed everything. Rinsed with water and replaced mat with new one.
Took a lot of effort but I saved 3 $1000 blinds.
No odor at all anymore and brother, it was REALLY bad.

We kept it as a pet for several months until it got run over by a truck. Then we ate him.
