Krivoman Blinds - Vent or No Vent?

[Throwin Darts]

For you guys that have the Krivoman blind with the vent, is it worth the extra cost? Or not?

What about the bow hook add on?

[Big pig]

Gotta have some type of vent. Heat and sweat
I vented my floor too
I would add my own bow hanger / rest.
And the Cabela ground blind chair!

I suggest the vent, but I didn't think the small opening was large enough to draw enough for good circulation, so I took a sawzall and cut out the small closable vent box and enlarged the hole.

Like Big Pig, I cut a rectangular hole in the floor under the front window and attached screening to keep the bugs out and a floor louvered vent.

I took a 4"x4"x2" block of wood, attached it with drywall type screws and screwed a bow hook into that. Works fine.

I added an RV vent to mine, this was before he offered a vent. You have to have a vent, you'll be miserable at times without it.

Vent, no doubt. I have the bow hooks as well and like them.

[Ellen]

Yes!

Yes get the vent unless you want to feel like you are in a sauna...lol

So does the concept of trying to contain your scent as good as you can in a ground blind, get thrown out the window(no pun) with a vent?

For whatever reason, that has not been an issue for me at my location. My blind is on a 4ft platform, and the roof is 6 ft above that. I chum 15-20 yards from my blind, and I have not had a deer spook because of scent.

You've gotta open windows (or at least one) to shoot. I always open a second for my camera. Not sure a roof vent is going to make any noticeable difference in scent control.

I would go with 3 windows and a vent. Bow hanger you can install yourself. How do others feel about 4 or 3 Windows for bow hunting. I only have 2 small openings on the box bow stands I built that I use.

A vent certainly would allow for better air flow much like a vent in a gas tank for a person with only one window open. More flow equals more scent...right? I know it doesn't make it totally scent free without a vent but we try to contain it as much as we can. Our custom boxes are pretty dang air tight and I only open one window. Yes its a hot mutha but I try to plow through it with a suspect wind..

If and when they rot, I'll be replacing with Krivoman's...that's why I was asking.

I have heard of extended vents on blinds. Imagine a chimney.
Flexible pipe cabled up in the tree above the stand.
Sounds a little extreme !

I've seen this as well which is why I asked about the scent out of the vent. Pretty sure Humper on our place went up some too.

I prefer the 4 windows.
