I wouldn't mind having one for Spring turkeys but otherwise I wouldn't have any use for one. I like the concept tho. Can't see where it would work on crows at all. Innovative product.
I've seen them on a hunting show. Very cool looking, but like nh said, the reflecting sun would nix the deal. Not to mention , they are way to low for our applications. Maybe some day when they make a tall version with non glaring material, but don't hold your breath.
NH is right,no crow would be fooled by that. One reason we use natural and half natural blinds is to create shadows,this is how you can get away with slight movement and fool the bandits.

I believe Remington Arms or maybe Winchester pioneered the use of a mirrored blind for use in waterfowl hunting and tested it. I recall seeing an article about it in a 1960's or 70's article. My recall is it was only effective on overcast days. SD is right, natural materials is the way to go. I don't need or want any more extra gear to haul back and forth.
It might work for deer, it is not going to work for crows.

It wouldn't work if it was non glaring. It works by showing a reflection of the ground in front of it. I don't think that the sun would be a problem either because the top leans out away from hunter.
Having said that, I don't think it has a use for crows either because of being too short.
me too.
