Buzzard nesting in blind

[J-DUB]

A guy on our lease had this happen a couple of years back. It was real nasty inside, but he cleaned it up and hunted out of it. not real sure what he used other than bleach.

this close to season,, get a new blind,, if not you have a good location to pick up some natural cover scent, leave you clothes in there for 24 hours,,,,

Just took over a place, went up to a blind that was there. shook it and 2 barn owls flew out.... Got a ladder and looked 10 eggs! Called the game warden to see if they would relocate, Nope. blind is a no go until gone. The stink is awful! Guess I'll try and do a time lapse thread when they hatch.

That would be awesome. Maybe a go pro to get NatGeo type of video. Your best bet is to hunt under the tower or build another next to it. Goodluck

Had this happen a few years ago after I cleaned it the smell got better but after about a year the floor rotted out. By rotted I mean even the treated 2x4 frame boards rotted in half. Built a new blind with windows and trashed the old one. I dont know what kind of fungi and such that buzzard shat grows but I never seen lumber rot that fast.

clean it as best you can and then spray thoroughly with embalming fluid and let dry.

Maybe put a Weber or Coleman grill in there and burn a lot of charcoal. Smoke (C02) is an odor eater, might be worth a shot.

I can only imagine how bad that smells. Good luck.

Clean and sprinkle lime on the floor. Lime will absorb odors. Not sure about buzz poop.

Thanks for replies I will get a pic soon.

GEt a gallon of Vinegar and a pump sprayer. After you get it cleaned out, soak it and let it dry, may need to repeat several times.

Something else that works on skunk sprayed areas is 3 quarts hydrogen peroxide mixed with one cup baking soda. Mix in pump sprayer and and spray entire area.

I have two blinds that raised owls this year. These are $3K blinds, so I really don't want to go the burning route. I will be using both methods this weekend!

Peroxide, baking soda and ......Ozone unit....

I don't know about getting the smell out of a stand but I drove up on a group on a dirt road and one laid what appeared to a gallon bucket of the foulest smelling sh^t on the hood of my new white truck. Not only was it the worst smell I think I have been around it discolored the paint in less than 24 hours. So bottom line it's some bad sh^t pun intended!
