Avery Snow Covers

We talked alittle about this earlier.... This is my own personal experience and opinion....If you really have a good blanket of snow I think they work good as you'll really disappear into the snow with it, but if it is a dusting or light covering of snow where there is still alot of stubble showing, then I like to just use the spray snow on a well stubbled blind. Let me tell you one thing... don't use white sheets!!! They really show bad, look blue in the UV!! ;D If you hunt where you get alot of snow I would look into investing in a snow cover, but we don't really get that much to worry with one myself, so usually just use the spray snow on top of the blind and shove snow all over and around the blind.

I've used the stuff for windows. It didn't stay on my blind very well at all. Really I was not impressed at all. I know lots of guys like it, but I didn't. OSB that was on a Power Hutner too, I have a snow cover for my finisher. The spray might work better on the finishers because they have sides that dont move around as much as teh power hunter. The guy using my Power Hunter was getting in and out of it regularly and by the end of the hunt there was no sign of the fake snow. Just my observation, but I am no pro staffer either!!!!!

Virgil,
Duff is right about it coming off easy, the full frame blinds will hold it better, also if you stubble up the blinds real well first it does help to hold it better also, and I just use the stuff you frost your Christmas trees with, if you go after Christmas season, you can buy that stuff cheap, last year I bought a leftover case of it for .25 a bottle, right now it is 1.00 a bottle at Walmart. The snow covers are awesome though, but if it is a light dusting or not much accumulation they are just too much, they do have stubble straps where you can add to help break it up. Duff... have you done that with the sheets and the UV detergents? Just curious on the results? Another idea is just to buy a roll of Tyvek and put a piece over your blind like you would a sheet, again for heavy snow. Those Avery snow covers are exactly that... Tyvek sewn into covers. You can get the rolls at Lowes or get a scrap piece from a contractor, it is virtually indestructible.... one side will have the Tyvek stamp on it, while the other side is just plain white. The good thing about Tyvek is no UV problems, it is just pure white like the snow. There is some good info here on this thread for everyone to try some different ideas and see what they like.

If you can drive out into the field with a truck or ATV stand on the gas and turn up the snow and mud around the area your going to hunt,this exposes the food and makes it look like alot of birds have been feeding there.The exposed soil or corn stalks will also help hide your layout blind.
