|
I got the blind last week, but was too busy cleaning up after the storm to set it up. This morning I got it set up.
Here is a pic of the rear of it. The door and windows can all zip up also.
Here is the front and one of the sides.
These next 3 pics are the views out of the windows.
Front
Left side. The light spot you see just to the right of the water bowl is cracked corn.
Right side. This is where the deer usually come through. And sometimes the turkeys too.

It is setting on a slope, so the sides arent real tight. It has spring steel poles in it, so it will all fold up into a circle about 24 inches wide and fits into a bag. It's really nice. I bought it for less than I could have built one.

I've seen all kinds of deer blinds but that is the neatest one I've seen.

You'll be laying in wait and they will never know you are there. Waiting for the pictures. The blind is really fancy!

Well, I had it all set up and the corn out, the only thing I forgot was to tell the turkeys about it! Sat out there for an hour and froze my butt off! Not a turkey in sight. Well there was one setting inside the blind!

I have spent 3 hrs. on 3 different mornings and no turkeys. The last time they came through was a week ago today. They had been on a cycle of 2 weeks coming through here.
