Great job Cliff. When constructing your natural blinds what do you do to conceal your movement from the arms up as well as your upper limb? Make a hole to shoot through or draw as your deer steps behind a tree? Pardon the ignorance but I'm a climber who one day will want to try it the hard way!
From the arms up, I actually have very sparse cover. If you wall yourself in, you will limit your shot opportunities too much. The secret is a roof. I like to have very heavy cover or a large tree behind me and very heavy cover above my head to create a "tucked back in the shadows effect". You want that overhead cover jutting well out in front of you. Use black trotline cord and natural vegetation to secure and build a roof structure for your natural blinds and it will be the single most effective thing you can do to up your odds in my opinion. Certain trees will allow a ready made roof such as Magnolias, Cedars and sometimes pine trees, however, they have to be in the right place, which they typically are not.
