Antelope blind build-along--New pics page 4

[ronp]

Great looking blinds.  I would like to make something similar for deer.  Thanks for sharing.

Great looking set up Tracy!  You should have some good action there if it doesn't rain.

Your comment on the decoy got me to thinking.  I haven't used one either, but wonder if it might be worth setting one up on the opposite side of the pond to try to get them to come on my side instead.  The pond that I'll be setting on in a few weeks is a little too large to shoot all the way across.  Might be worth a try?

Neat build along!  I had the same thought that Whip does.  I have never hunted antelope before but I have often wondered about ways to influence animal movement at waterholes.  That might work.

Looks really good. I'm planning to build a couple of these somewhat similar, using pvc for the frame and the black pond liner material. I figured this was a cheaper route to go than replacing ground blinds every couple years.

Looks like a killer set up!

boy i hope the outfitter i am using this year in WY has 1/2 as good of a set up!

Ive used decoys and it really spooked some bucks they ran away with out drinking and that was during the rut ! We use tripods or quadpods with a cover to keep the sun off you . Its amazing that you can sit right out in the open up in the air and they will come into drink and not pay any attention to you . Ive had antelope into my water hole an hour after I set my quadpod up . Its 12' with a 60" platform has a roof and 3 sides.We used similar blinds like yours and had good luck but poor luck with pop ups they really avoided em . The leafy camo must help .  Tim

Man what a great thread! I have a couple of spots that I can't get a stand on for whitetails due to no trees. I am constantly worried about my pop-ups and have lost them to thieves, cows, and storms. I gotta try that here!

Great idea Tracy, thanks for posting!!! Definitely something I plan to try out.

Great thread Tracy!
Thanks for sharing with us your experience.  

[Derrick in Missouri]

Great idea ill make some of those for whitetail hunting   grass and tree limbs could be tucked in wire for camo. be good cheap blinds to leave all year.

Looks awesome. Plenty warm too I bet. LOL.
I have a whitetail spot that would be perfect for a blind like this. Always afraid to put up my pop up for extended times due to thieves.

Are Wy. antelope tags draw only for non residents?

[Stone Sheep]

I am going to put this info to good use!

[Kamm1004]

razorsharptokill, No there are some left over tags available right now depending on which area your looking at

[SKITCH]

Hey Shed,
I was thinking...if you need someone to babysit those for you now and then...just give a few of us the GPS coordinates and we can take care of that for you!!!   :D      :D       :D

[Hopewell Tom]

Not so worried about theft here as we're on our own land.
I like the design and have most of the materials except the tarp. Easily bought though.
Thanks for the effort and the set up.
