Snow spray question

Postby Fowlmouth421 » Sat Jan 14, 2012 11:16 am

How well will snow spray stay on my blind if I spray it today to hunt tomorrow? I don't want to go to the trouble if it'll fall off over night.

It will fall off. You're gonna have to spray it the day of your hunt. Those cans suck if they get cold, what I've done to prevent this is keep my truck running and warm and rotate two cans. Leave 1 can in the truck and use the other 1 to spray your blind. When the can your using freezes up just go swap it out with the 1 in your truck. This has been the only way I've been successful at using snow spray.

i would always spray night or two before and let it dry in garage for a nice base, and like previous post--i would alternate cans in field to cover

Like Jon said it falls off pretty easily, and dont let the cans get cold. I find it takes at least a can for each blind to get a good initial covering. I always have an extra in the blind to touch them up as the morning goes on as it seems every time you move it knocks it off.. I have a blind I only use when its frosty or snow and I have spray painted it with white paint so that It always has some white on it. It doesnt look bad in a wheat field or when hunting snows either as I find that most blinds are too dark to start with.

stubble your blind(s) first and then spray them. I have found the spray sticks better to the stubble than to the material itself.

Have you thought about a $10 bed sheet from wal-mart? I used one last year for my blind, was a last minute hunt so had no other options. After about 30 minutes of cutting and fitting, I was suprised how well it fit and looked. It actually worked out really well, killed birds over it 2 days in a row. Personally I'd go this route and stay away from the spray snow, sounds like a mess.

Another option and it's 1 that I've never tried is to get a spray bottle full of water and spray it all over your blind. Then, throw snow onto your blind and the snow will freeze directly to your blind. I know of a couple guys that do this and it's worked for them.

I ended up spraying it with one full can the night before as a base which stayed on quite well and then sprayed the other 2 in the field. Overall it looked pretty good but next year I'll have a snow cover
