Rear view mirror on hunting stand

Jeff in TX

Stopped by a buddies ranch today to help with a couple of projects. He was showing me one of his food plots and I noticed he had a 4" diameter bicycle rear view mirror attached to the side of tripod. I asked what's up with the mirror? He said he uses it to look behind him to minimize his movement. Hadn't ever thought of that trick. He said he kept getting busted by deer as he would turn to look behind him. I said does the rear view mirror well, he said like a champ.

From my limits seach, they don't make theses anymore. Wouldn't be hard to make though.

That is a totally awesome idea, I'll have to check out ebay or do a search. My buddy painted his mounting bar and back of the mirror dark green!

Found this online, pretty much the same thing only bigger mirror

These things have adhesive backing, and give a panoramic view. Lots more area covered, and the slight distortion doesn't really matter- - - -all we need to see is movement. Cheap, so use a few for good coverage to back and sides.

A trip to the salvage yard and a little redneckery and one could make one in just minutes.

Yes, but you would need to channel your inner cpj. That is dark and scary place most will not go.
