It would be very poetic if you were to start shooting deer through a new lens.
I do realize they aren’t meant to be left up, I guess that’s why I’m asking if anyone’s tried it. But I walk over there almost daily if not daily, so setting something up and taking it down would be a pain in the ass. If I got a cheap one and it last the season I’d be pleased.
I’m not worried about my scent. The deer know I’m there, they pass by me daily and see me, but they’re used to me. I’ve been sitting there most days all year. The netting I have now helps more with birds who don’t seem to notice me as much until they’re very close. It’s also just an aesthetic I enjoy, having the curtain around me offers some light rain/light wind resistance and some slight concealment. I’d just keep the netting up I have there now, except I know the weight of the snow will pull it down.
