Snow camo coloured ground blind
Just wondering if anyone has a recommendation on where I can find a snow camo coloured pop up ground blind? I have searched a few places and I would have thought that this wouldn't be a hard item to find in Canada but it appears it is, so if you have seen or purchased one recently please let me know where I can find one. I have looked at Canadian Tire, Cabelas and Walmart. Thanks in advance.

Christmas tree snow paint. Easy peasy. Brush off when finished.

Any particular reason on why you want snow color camo? I use my real tree summer camo blind every fall for deer and haven’t had any issues with them being scared of it.

You may fool their eyes and you may fool their ears but you will never fool their nose.. Scent is 99% of that equation!
Deer don’t care which colour Camo your blind is.

The particular place usually is quite snow covered with little break up of foliage behind and in front so my thought was a snow camo pop up. hard to find but I guess I could get a large white sheet big enough and tailor it to slide over my existing fall colored pop up. I haven't sewn in years and my wife is useless in this department, lol. I guess it would only be the cost of a box of bandaids buy cost isn't an issue. Maybe I will try that first.

Yes I get that, the positioning and distance of the set up reduces that somewhat, that's not what I was inquiring about but thanks for the advice.

Canadian tire has snow Camo leafy blind material. Lay it out, zip tie to some sticks or standing trees around your blind chair. Done. I’ve been using this since it snowed and it works really well. I had three deer at 30 yards Sunday. No shooters yet

My opinion no matter what colour your blind is the deer know it’s there and it’s more about if they have seen it enough to deem it non threatening
Years ago I met an old farmer who kill all his deer out of a broken down red truck left on his property

I was asking permission from a lady farmer near linden--She was a avid hunter and showed me pictures of a huge mullie she had shot--From a combine--not legal but very effective--Deer just stood therewhile she drove into range.

Ameristep makes a snow camo cover for their Doghouse blind. If you’re really stuck, I have one I might lend it, on the premise that it gets returned in same condition or replaced.
