Well my inventor brain cells are certainly running today!!!

I did some welding this past week for a friend, making some hay feeders out of wire 16ft hog panels... anyhow when i was done i had a piece left over... i was already thinking about turkey season coming soon and so looking at the panel leftovers gave me an idea for a PERFECT blind... i took the bolt cutters and cut the piece in half and then bent both pieces i got into a (__) shape then i used some leftover camo burlap i got at walmart and ziptied it on... i didnt have enough to completely finish the one or do the other one but hopefully its enough so you can get the idea... also the way i cut it i made it so there are exposed 4 inch or so long points all along the bottom so i can push it into the ground...

You have too much free time on your hands.

LOL no actually various members on here can vouch for me being a hard worker (right guys?) its just while im working im also thinking up ideas..... didnt you hear how i came up w this idea? it was while i was doing some custom welding for another member on here (BigBuckBoy) these were some of the scrap material i had left over...

Hey, that'll work!

Way to use your thinker Joe! They'll never know what hit 'em! :pleasantry:

LOL i sure am HOPING they dont know what hits em!!!! thanks for that turkey load Dan!! sure hope i get to use it!!!

That looks great, Joe..

There ought to be lots of good places for you to use a blind, considering the big fields, pastures and edges around your area..

Yeah i think it should work great.... esp. when i dont have a tree to sit against (THAT makes me mad!!! a PERFECT spot and no tree to sit by)

i may build something like this not just for turkey but also bow hunting. i hunt alot from the ground and this may help conceal a bit of movement!

 

I want to build a roundbale blind style one sometime this summer... (like these)

these that I built work great but I didnt use them much cause I tagged out by the third time I hunted this season... LOL not that its a bad thing!!!

LOL Its not JUST my free time!!! I can honestly say that i could prob call myself a total hunting fanatic... I kinda think of it this way: I have a filter in my mind that I run Everything thru... and it tries to figure out how I could use this or that for hunting... Im ALWAYS trying to think up new/better ways to hunt!!! LOL

Thanks!!!

I need to take/post some in the field pics...

That is homemade, hog panels, i did frame the two ends of the blind just for support and to add the door, and the bottom is obvisously wood. some zip ties, a large tarp, and the hay material is from a landscaping company i purchased it online, its used to for erosion control, its cheap. Im really happy with it so far and really getting my use out of it now for turkey season.
