    Krivoman Hunters

    Had my first hunt out of my krivoman this weekend. I hunted with the window in my main shooting lane open. The deer seemed to notice and did not like it.So my next hunt I left it closed and the deer were fine after that. So those of you that hunt out of this style blind, what are some tricks you use.
    If you leave your window closed, how do you get it opened when ready to shoot and not spook your deer.

    Pain the window black and keep it open when you are there and make sure and wear black and maybe paint the inside of the blind black. Keep the black hole in effect.

      I have the 4 window blind, I only open ( but not locked all the way back ) the one facing feeder and set off to the side of the open window, where I have to slid to the edge of chair to shoot. Also I have the front of mine tilted some to keep window to where it will stay open half way once opened. I still have deer come in looking at the blind / open window, but never seems to bother em cause they cant really see me, since I am between windows. If that makes since. I painted the inside of mine black and were a Black long sleeve shirt.
      Good luck this season

          I had the same experience you did when I first got mine. I put window screen on it and also painted the windows black. This has helped a bunch. I also covered the inside of mine with egg crate foam, more because of my kids kicking the walls, but you get the blackout effect.

            I have hunted out of Krivo blinds for 6 years now. Mine all have 3 windows. I found that the deer did not like the reflection of the glass on the closed windows. I only open and shoot out of the middle window. I took cardboard and painted it flat black to cover the outside of the two closed windows. I cut a small peep hole in the cardboard so i can see deer coming. The window i shoot out of is also covered when i leave. All 3 windows look the same even when one is open. You can probably get away with opening a closed window on hogs but i doubt you could pull it off on a mature deer. Best to leave your shooting window open when hunting. Sit as far back as you can inside. I rarely have a deer look at me. Many of my longbow shots are inside 10 yards. Killed an axis last year at 4 yards. Stand where the deer will be and look at your Krivo. Make the windows all look the same. Good luck.

              I keep my windows closed while hunting. They definitely notice when it looks different. Also, it keeps my scent inside. My bow window opens silently. It’s a Deerview tinted hinged window.

              I did notice something interesting tho. When hunting pigs during the warmer months I opened up all the windows in a feeble attempt to keep cool and they regularly don’t come in. They know the difference. They step out of the nearby woods, take about 3 steps and turn around not to be seen again. They are definitely smarter then they look.

                  I would paint the inside of the blind, flat black. Then I would either paint the windows the same or make some black curtains to give the windows the "black hole" effect. I would also wear a black long sleeve shirt, hat and if needed, black face paint.

                  Doing this makes the windows look the same open or closed and wearing the black conceals your movement when you are positioning for a shot.

                  This is what I do and it works for me. Before doing all of this I was noticing the same thing as you.

                  I also will not make eye contact with a deer either but I do leave my cell phone on.

                      Just paint inside black, no need to paint windows black as it will give it a black hole effect without painting glass. I have also used window screen like the ones used for sun screens on houses.

                        If they are freaking because you have a window open, it is more likely your stank swirling in the air versus any kind of credit we give a deer for knowing what a window is. That's my theory anyway..


                        My deer and pigs don't seem to react to a deer view window being open..

                            I typically hunt with my main windows open and the others closed and the deer don't seem to care. This weekend was an exception...the mosquitoes were so bad I left all the windows closed and only opened them when I thought I had a shot opportunity. I just moved slow and waited for the deer to be looking away and I slowly opened them...they open without any noise (at least mine do)

                              This, also only time you can tell if a window is open or closed is if you are facing the sun, it will highlight the green inside or who is in there. If sun is anywhere but straight in front windows look dark open or closed.
