If so, park your blind there a couple of weeks before the season opens. It won't take long for deer to become comfortable again.
Pop-ups have their advantages and disadvantages, and many of the negatives can be overcome with good placement. I read an article in a hunting magazine recently (I think it was called Hunting, put out by Petersen's, but that might not be right) and they were big on using brush/vegetation/branches to cover the windows. In this case it is not the movement from within the blind, but the open windows stick out like a sore thumb. Mine has windows that allegedly are shoot-through, but I have a hard enough time seeing through them, much less shooting through them. Imagine looking out a screen door: you can see pretty good from a short distance, but when you get too close, you can't see anything but the screen.
