After many messy years, I finally decided to clean all blinds. Got the Honda 2200 and a new powerful small shop vac, and got after it. Looks nice. Maybe some curtains and a small area rug would be nice.

I like a clean blind
I have never understood why the tobacco guys leave a spit bottle every time they hunt in one.

would you rather they spit on the floor?

Cleaned ours out recently using a hand vac and extension cord hooked up to the trucks 400 amp power outlet.

Be careful with that generator. 8 or 9 years ago someone on my lease decided to vacuum his blind and 5000 acres later they got the fire put out.

I like to clean mine before season starts. just take a battery powered blower and done in just a couple minutes. Oh, and don't forget the wasp spray and maybe mouse bait

I usually clean all the blinds twice per year. Battery powered vac.

I have been remiss this year, but 6 outa 7 are pretty darn tight. The 7th I leave until I know someone's gonna be in there. It's a hold-over from the previous owner, built with an electrical conduit frame (he was a CPS lineman, so I'm guessing rate payers paid for that) and plywood. He didn't build it tall enough to stand in, although I'm certain the conduit comes in 10' lengths standard. It's really the packrats' blind. I try to poison the bastards, but there's always a few survivors. It will be abandoned after this season. 'Gonna have some clearing done and set a new blind, looking north and looking over the feeder from the utmost southeast, higher corner.

By-the-by, battery-powered vac is the correct answer.

You guys go on with your little hand vacs. I have a new small and light Ridgid shop vac that’ll suck the spots off a bobcat. I put it and the Honda generator and extension cord in the bed of the Kubota and drive to the blinds. It’s a great little shop vac.

It's a deer blind. 'Health Dept. isn't scheduled.

if you have a dirty deer blind you probably have a dirty camp too

You havent seen dirty till a buzzard raised her 2 chicks in one of ours! yep that was one smell you will never
forget! one of windows was open, plywood cover didnt get closed all the way and so she made a nice nest
for them.... Wow, no pics, needless to say i didnt not hunt that blind last year! all sorts of bones, skeletons,
etc all over there. Not to mention the fertilizer spread wall to wall!........

Yep, the buzzards. The guy that had this land before us had, at some point, a one holer outhouse. When he got indoor plumbing, he moved the outhouse and used it as a deer stand. The buzzards moved in and raised many years of little buzzards, and used the outhouse in a non-standard fashion. It really stinks, and we have long since abandoned it to the buzzards. I will, on occasion, take visitors to look at baby buzzards, which are quite cute when very young. They do get ugly fast.

If I remember correctly they are snow white when born, has been a while since I have seen some.

Why don’t you burn it?

I’d have to move it to a safe place to burn. That’s work I don’t need to do. Plus, city folk do like to see a real one holer outhouse.

I have had to use a one holer with perfectly good, working indoor plumbing 50' away, 'cause the , now ex's homesteading grandfather imagined (at 90) that the well was going dry; just north of downtown Abbott, NM. He built that little adobe brick house with his own two hands. They don't make 'em like that any more.

I'm abandoning a blind left by the previous owner after this season. 'Guess I oughta leave one side open for "nesting habitat."

If you are hunting in someone else's blind. Take any trash, shells, bottles with you. I agree, dirty blind, dirty camp.
