New blind is huge and ready to go

[LPJR]

Got the new blind in from Sportsmans Guide last week and set it up in the back for my son to practice shooting out of...Pretty cool that he (even me) can shoot the compound standing up....Set it up at one of our farm spots with ASFTAX today in an inside corner which is one of my all time favorite setups for bow.  Put up a Bushnell camera and will check it in a couple of weeks... Love this anticipation part of the season!

 

Let the games begin........

One word of advice, if you plan on keeping it out all season into the winter, find a length of PVC and a wooden block.  Stand the PVC up to the peak in the roof and put the block of wood underneath it.  This will keep the roof up in case of snow, preventing it from collapsing into itself.

 

Also, tie it to that a tree so you can find it after it blows over.  Those anchors hold only so much and then pop out.

 

Lessons I learned the hard way.

 

Looks good!  Hope you get some slammers out of it!

Good stuff, but I gotta ask, don't you guys have chiggers up there?!  If I went in my woods in shorts I'd have to set myself on fire!

Looks good! Good luck with that set up!!  BTW, what are doing with that peewee hammer?

This blind will be strictly for fall bow, will take down before gun week...Like you said, I have another that stays out from August until the end of late gun and the roof is propped up with a metal rod....Thanks for the tips, all good stuff, especially with tying the blind down.

Thank goodness no.  In the woods all the time in shorts, I think LPJR will agree.

Lol!

 

We had a short walk and heavily sprayed down before we went in. Was shocked and surprised that we didn't have one tick on us today.

I never have had chiggers on me, like you said in the woods in shorts quite often......

That blind must be huge!!  It makes you look small and that is hard to do brutha!  Look at those guns!!

Blinds = tumbleweeds during a nice fall storm (or tropical depression).

 

I walked into the woods to fill my feeder and thought someone stole my blind.  I found it 100' away because the spikes pulled out and the thing probably went airborne.  Unfortunately, I didn't catch it on any game cams.
