Title: Pop-up blind prep for trip
Post by: n_mathews13 on April 04, 2018, 07:13:03 PM: Have a blind I use for over bait in ID. Use it for when kids or wife go.
What do you guys do to your blind to get it aired out and as scent free as you can?
I normally leave it out in yard to get rained on for awhile. Then set it up in woods for a week near where we camp during season. Hate to leave it at bait to long with the bears around. Any ideas ?

Keep a bottle of Scent Away in the blind bag. And spray it before I get in.

Have had elk walk right up to it.

We make natural blinds now so have not done it for a while, keep food attractive scents away from it but having some man scent coming from it before you hunt will help you.
