I've been seeing these leaf concealment systems that you can drape over blinds and arrange how you want to help mask the windows and camo in the blind more. How may guys have used these and any tips/tricks? Do you still keep the mesh up on them with these on your blind?

Honestly, I do not use them. I don't like spending money when I don't have to. I acutally used my ground blind yesterday in the field and had it decked out. I simply place my ground blind in a good spot, then use whats around for concealment. I took branches on the ground and layed them up against the blind and took dried cut field grass and threw it on the branches.. I wish I had a picture to show you but I don't.

I try to use whats in the woods for my concealment. It saves money and looks more natural to me. Your call tho!

I have a Double Bull T5 ground blind and what I do to blend it in is first I'll scout around to look for a good ambush point.
If I see a spot that has a major travel route with secondary trails intersecting each other , I'll set up my blind amongsome thick brush within thirty yards from those trails.
Finding a good spotto place your blind is an important factor in my book although I know I won't be able to use each shooting window thats ok with me.
I try toplace my blind so that I'll have a goodclose shot at any deer that walks by , once I've done that I'll use natural items such as fallen limbs with leaves and other dead branch's to place around and on top of my blind.
If I know I'm coming back to it the next morning , I'll leave it set there but if I'm not then my blind comes back home with me.

Thanks guys. I usually leave my groundmax deluxe and doghouses out all season and brush them in and all so they blend well with the surroundings. And I only use a few windows to minimize the movement a deer will see. I guess I was just wondering who, if any, leaves the mesh down and conceals the open window with some artificialor natural materials enough so thedeer won't see them. I left the window wide open at first light one time 3 years ago and got busted big time by a doe.Ever since, I always leave the mesh up.

I guess I should have mentioned earlyer that wearing dark colored clothing would be a big help as well.
If you think about it ... it's black inside a blind and if your wearing any type of camo the deer are going to pick you out.
Wear something black to cover your upper torso and face as well as your hands when inside your blind , your odds of not getting busted will improve greatly
