Junky old blind - 10/25/17 02:56 PM
Built a couple of these last minute for deer season 2011 out of used shipping crates and lumber. Every year I think I'm going to build one a little taller, little nicer, little bigger. Every year I patch it up and keep using it, works well enough and I see plenty of animals. Tidy'd up nicely yesterday, sat there until a little after dark waiting on pigs that never showed but saw a bunch of deer, one maybe shooter. The gap between the particle board and shooting rail I left intentionally, back then my kids were too short to see over the shooting rail. Think the roll wire was a good idea. I don't have much trouble not being noticed by the deer, throw in a kid or extra adult though and it can be challenging. Pretty common for deer to walk right past the front of it. Scrub brush and weeds I hung should help break up human outlines a little better. Reminds me of the old brush blinds me and Dad used to sit in all the time.
