Out with the old…..



In with the new……..






Still a lot of work left to do, but will be nice when it's done. I'm getting too old and fat to work like this in July and August.

That's a whole lotta tool belt...for a duck blind.

I figured you paid that out to professionals.

Nope. Trade sweat equity for hunts. So, far ducknbass = 0, everyone else = 100

D&b is at 0 on purpose. Ain’t nobody called a mofo for help. The Who don’t want a better looking, superior duck call running, ace shooting hand in the blind with him. I’ve grown used to these partialities in life.

Looking good. Any special reason you built it out of wood instead of metal?

Weight, cost, and fabrication

what kind of trailer was that?

Old hay trailer bought for peanuts off Craigslist

Blind finished except for paint and brush








Should look like this when all brushed in.

Looks good Russ! Bet lots of memories will be made in that!

Nice! Looks a little better than sitting behind a few branches, which is what I normally do haha.

Dadgum 1%er there. I hear they are involved in a hostile take over of White Oak Duck woods.

Where is the hot tub gonna go?

Painted, moved, set in place, and brushed this weekend. Needs power run then water and add ducks!!

Looks awesome. How big is the wetland that you will flood on this blind?

I see the work horse truck in that convoy!

This is a friends wetland. They did 2 phases. Phase one is 60 acres of flooded corn. Not sure how many total acres of water. Phase II is 90 acres of corn. They use this mobil blind a couple of years to see how the ducks work the wetland before they spend the money for a permanent blind. This blind will eventually be moved over to wetland he and I are partners in. We will have 2 pools there and the thought is to make this blind permanent since we are done with wetlands.

60 acre pool





Blind is currently located in the claw at the end of the tree line

I need to start another thread on my wetland to show the entire process or progress. We are in the middle of getting the levees permitted with the state and our primary water rights, but here is where the blind will eventually end up.
