If so, tell us how they work for you.   Any pictures would be good too.   Thanks!

Kind of...

We've got a peat bog next door,with the pallet yard over looking the actual bog(It's about 30 feet higher than the bog itself) so we kind of leaned up some pallets and made a cool looking blind with a roof(Looks like a duck blind more than anything).We've crow hunted,Yote hunted and rifle/smokepole deer hunted out of it,but have yet to bowhunt out of it,but I have bow hunted that spot before we "built" it there,so maybe this year.

Sorry no pics.It's not really pic worthy anyways.

I tried it last season out behind our shop.  Believe it or not I saw more deer purposely look at the blind (even though there were previously stacked and arranged pallets there well before I rearranged them) - I was observing from another location in a leafy suit.

All it took was a popup blind opposite the pallet pile in a block of shrubs to bring home the venison.

So, in a round-about way, I suppose them work.

:D
