2012_taco Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I used a pop up blind for turkey hunting this year more than ever, and I started looking into ways to place things to keep them within reach and off the wet ground. Looked at Ebay and saw some ideas. I made a shelf out of scrape pcs. of plywood, it attaches to the cross poles inside the blind(Ameristep Big House) with a couple of 1/4" wing nuts. I epoxied the bolts so they won't loosen up. should hold my calls and I added a bow hook to support a gun or hang my bow. I will post pics as soon as I figure out the tech stuff.

Lawdwaz Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Hey Techy....Nice job on the shelf. I'd suggest a small piece of trim surrounding the entire thing. (I'd be one pizzed off turkey hunter next spring when my TimBits roll off into the damp grass) Fortunately I quit smoking cigars so you won't need to add a notch to keep THEM from rolling off and getting snuffed out. You part Amish? C U on the road..............................<grin> Edited June 4, 2013 by Lawdwaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawdwaz Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 That would be nice! Looks like somebody wanted a drive-thru in the new hotel on Main St last night! Crazy deal........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pygmy Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) Hmmmm...I get by pretty well with a folding stool and a set of Stony Creek shooting sticks... How about an anatomically correct blow up companion along with a well stocked portable cocktail bar ...?... I'll take the Sarah Evans model... Some of our more liberal posters might prefer the Michael Douglas/ Matt Damon Liberace' "double dipper" model... Gives a whole different slant to the term "pop up" blind...

Lawdwaz Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I LIKE your ideas Dan. It would certainly help to keep a guy busy until the REAL gobbler shows up..........<grin> 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
