Well I plan on going hunting this december, but where I plan on going I need to use my jeep to get there. I was wondering if any other hunters out there figured out a way to cover and hide their jeeps or if they bought something to cover the jeep. Please help because I did a lot of scouting and I think I have the best chance here.

Get a mossy oak tarp that matches the surroundings and just cover it. Lol.

Well I'm hunting deer, up here in Jersey and there is something about a big red jeep in the woods that and I am more concerned that the sun that might reflect off the jeep while it's behind me on the side of the trail because it is very open.

Deer do not care about cars. I never cover mine. I believe its a waste.

That's what I was thinking , but a little diff. There's a place here in CO called jax outdoors - you can buy like a camo mesh material by the yard similar to this.
But what if it's all snowy ?

I'm not trying to be rude, but aren't deer color blind. Other wise it would be easy for them to spot all the gun hunters in Bright Blaze Orange. I would think they could smell you and your jeep before they would see you.

Just lift it high enough that you can use it as a blind. Then no worries and you don't even have to leave the truck.

Or park it in a place so that it scares deer TOWARD you. Kinda like a pack of lions or something.
