    How is it going fellow bow hunters? I am new to this forum and already have a question for you. I started hunting out of a blind last season for the first time and had a good year. I have a Ameristep intimidator and I only opened up 2 sides while hunting last year but I know I could hear deer behind me. It is a 360 degree blind and I was wondering if it is ok to open all windows or will the deer see me through the shoot through mesh if I open the windows behind me?

    I would be concerned about my silhouette against the openings behind me, especially movement.

    I would just set it up and check it out. Take someone with and do some tests to find out. That is the best way to tell!

    I'm guessing your a fellow Texan?:D



    As said before, I'd take put someone in your blind and stand out twenty yards and see if you can see them with the back window open
