building the perfect blind duck & deer

[Michelle K linnane]

Well finally getting around to building my goose blind. Will follow some of the prints that I have on orginally post. It will be 6 feet wide and 10 feet long. A door on the sides and hinged top that will be open when we are in the blind. I will use marsh grass on cattle panels so that we can
flip that over to shoot. For a while home depot had stopped making this stuff but they have it in stock. I order 18 panels as I want to build some
deer blinds after we get finished with the goose blind. I want the goose blind to some what weather proof as I want to store my decoys in there when I am not using them the big feet decoys take a great deal of room. I am placing this on two PT 4X4 so I can skid it to different places if I need to and pick it up with the folks of my tractor.
After we finsihed with the duck blind I am going to build to deer blinds elevated 5 X 6 about 5 ft off the ground I order 18 sheets of the camo OSB from home depot they deliver it tomorrow. Will keep pictures as we progress. Gander MT makes a metal brace that will allow us to bolt the 4X4 to the bottom frame a few 2x4 for leg braces and when we put out in the edge of the wood will anchor with 2X4 to trees. Will have steps up to blind and drop down windows from the inside.

Hello
Well we finally started working on the duck blind. HaD The materials delivered from home depot. Laudy neighbor
down the road is building it for me. I finalized how I wanted the plans and he is at it. Of course being deer season
it only gets a few hours a day but that is ok he is making progress. Had to make a trip to tractor supply last night for 10
hinges and more hardware last night.
There is a bench seat all the way accross and a shelve in the front with four notches to rest shutgun standing
up.

For my deer blind I order a brace from E Z Tower. They looked to me to be best support. I might make this
stand 4 by 8 so two people can be in together and not be crowded. This one I will have 6 feet in the air.
For my other deer blind it will only be 3 feet in the air and be 4 X 4. The 4 X 4 will have a bench seat built right in
and a shelve for every window to shoot out of. Easier to rest the gun. These can also double as turkey blinds
and predator blinds.


Here are the pictures of what has been done so far on goose blind.Need to go get eye hooks today so will go down this afternoon
and get more eye hooks and take more pictures
