RE: hunting blinds
Let me share with you a great way to make a ground blind. I like to use a section of 4x8paint scaffolding which is about 6ft high ... I take a 4x8 piece of 3/4 inch plywood and place on topfor the floor (use 3 two by fours for a floorbrace)... I then tie a tent blind on top of the scaffolding....all in all your about 7ft high ...out of the wind and rain ... if you can find an old piece of scaffolding at a rental store you can buy them for about $50.00 ...and all in all you will have about $150.00 in this set up that you can put up or take down in less then 15 min.

RE: hunting blinds
Early in the season i take a pair of hand clippers with me and cut some branches off the trees in directions i will be shooting. cut the stick end to a bit of a point and stick them in the ground all around you in a circle. Make them just high enough that you can still see clearly over them. you will also be able to see through them but this helps break up your body a bit.

RE: hunting blinds
and blinds are useful at spots where you can't find a tree to put a treestand in so you gotta use a different method of concealing yourself

RE: hunting blinds
Here is mine.
I wouldn't exactly call it hunting, but it's effective. It is sealed to the elements, I have a small heater and I can get away with quite a bit. I can eat, stretch out if I want to, talk to my buddies on walki talkis if I want to. I even have a small radio with headphones for when I get really bored and the deer are not moving.
I can stay in this blind all day no matter what the weather is and stay dry and fairly warm. I have killed deer on days where if I had to sit in a tree stand I would have stayed home.
I don't drive my car to the blind during the season either, I was doing some work on it in the off season. We have three of these blinds on different sides of a 50 acre property.
