Does anybody use one? I feel I need to conceal myself better.

Always, we have about 24 double ladders and all all camo.

I like to use military type camo, put on the rails with plastic zipties.

I have always sat in the wide open with no cover. Not uncommon to have deer walk right by me. Most of the deer I shoot are within 50 yards and sometimes walking right to me. I think it depends alot on how still you sit and sometimes your scent depending on wind direction.

What Tom Said. Sit still and hunt the wind. Use natural scent that you can get for free in the woods you are hunting and not the store bought stuff, Pine needles, leaves etc. Pack your (clean) hunting clothes and boots in a plastic container with a few pine needles from where you hunt And (DON'T FORGET TO SIT STILL).

I get a little fidgety after a couple of hours. And, I'm thinking of some sort of cover in the rain.
