Anyone know of a good way to deter squirrels from chewing the corners of wooden deer blinds? We've tried different paints, sealants, running hard wood trim boards around the corners. No luck.

The squirrels still chew holes in the blind. We've started replacing some with fiberglass blinds, but we prefer building our own. Any suggestions?

Take up squirrel hunting.

Metal corner stripping?

Metal corner bead
Angle iron
Hang owl decoy underneath the blind or mount on top.
Rubber snakes on legs & sides

Hah we can't shoot them quick enough, they are everywhere out here. I like the idea of an owl decoy, thanks for the suggestion.

Skillet. We thought we had same issue. We set up a game camera by blind. Turned out it was woodpeckers. Owl did the trick for them as well.

Just use your .270 no mess to clean up.

Spray hot pepper on the corners.
