New Blind.......Shedrock Style.
« on: September 03, 2012, 04:28:00 PM »
A while back I read Shedrocks build along thread about his homemade blinds. A few years back I was fortunate enough to buy a decent little tract of ground for hunting but the previous tenant had cleared the ground a few years ago and farmed it for awhile. Then let it go back to just brush. So I have great habitat for wildlife but not for putting treestands up. So I after reading Shedrocks thread I knew I had to try my hand at this homemade blind. Heres how it turned out.
From 30 steps edge of the food plot.
 
From about 5 yards.
 
Side view.
 
Inside looking out.
 
I have this blind set up over a small food plot Ive put out of oats, rape and turnips. Hope things work out well. Thanks Shedrock!

Do you have more than one hole to shoot from? It looks pretty good!

Always wanted to build a blind that I could actually sit in..

Be great for the kids.

I always end up in either stands or makeshift ground blinds with canvas, or just brush. Not near as comfortable or secluded..

Pat,
Made of t post, concrete wire, canvas tarps, nylon tarps and the camo netting you see. Do a search of Shedrocks blind build along and you can see how its all done. Very helpful thread!
Will do an the success report. Got over 500 pics of turkey on this plot eating my seed before it sprouted so hopefully a turkey will be in the cook pot!

Thanks for the encouragement! Anybody "thinking" about one of these blinds should go ahead and try it. Nothing to it if you follow along Shedrocks thread.

Nice job, looks great. Looking forward to a hero .pict in front of it,
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.
