Built this ghost blind back in 2014. No need to look out the windows. Made of plexiglass and reflective window tint. It gives you a 360 degree view inside.

expensive but sure cant deny its effectiveness.

pretty slick. might not work so well for night hunting when you turned on your flashlight.

Not sure of the cost, but Perspex/plexiglas (same thing I think) isn’t overly expensive...not sure of the cost of the reflective tint though.

At night, it would be wise to use a RED light, although I don’t believe that you guys are allowed to hunt at night are you? We are allowed to hunt at night using a spotlight, but that is usually done from a vehicle.

I tried something like this with mylar (Space blankets), sticky tapes and some sticks to hold it up - works quite well.
You need to angle it down just right to reflect downwards rather than up to the sky and ensure you have enough structure to go against the wind.

I once saw a ground blind made with a reflective coating that slanted down slightly and you sat behind it. Guess it never caught on.

What a great idea.
