Back in the old days, I wore blue jeans and a OD field jacket hunting (and killed deer).  You know what they say: fishin' lures aren't made to catch fish, just fishermen.

That mirror unit seems pretty bizarre.  Can't see it working on a sunny day, a shiny scope would be the least of your worries.

It would be great during the rut when a huge buck saw itself reflected in it, and came to fight your blind................so long as you are not in it.

Check out this.
It looks like it would be great camo and would work well for all types of game.

From the GhostBlind videos I have watched the mirrors are angled to get rid of sun reflection.   The sun hits the mirror and is reflected down to the ground infront of the blind.

Always interesting to see new ideas, both good and bad.

 I'd sure like to try one out.
Clever idea, and it looks to be very effective if used correctly.

We don't carry portable mirrors around with us.  We don't do it in Wyoming, either.  Or New Mexico.

 I think I'd set mine up with the mirror side facing toward me, just so I could admire how awesome a hunter I am, from several different angles!

Then when you were done with that you could take it home, put it over your bed and admire what a great lover you are.
