Any of you fellas build ground blinds with rolled hog wire? I'm trying to get up to the farm and build some good ground blinds that are big enough for 2 people to sit in.
If you've got any ideas or pictures I would appreciate your input.
I don't have any pics of it but I have one built out of the cheaper 4" square field wire. I stake it with a t post, then wrap it around into a circle, but leave a gap big enough to walk in and out of. I usually brush it in every 2 years with cedar saplings, then cut shooting gaps in it.
there is a post on here from about a year ago of shedrocks antalope blinds he makes im gonna make a couple like his for deer this year im gonna make.mine out of the wire cattle pannels they have bigger holes wich should be easier to work with
I forgot about that one! Thanks for the reminder, I'll check it out.
Here are some good pics

Thanks for the link, that is exactly what I'd like to do. You really documented that well.
I make mine out of on 16' hog panel and froame the roof just like in TxAg's pics. We use the plastic grass carpet from HD for the siding.

I can only take credit for digging up the old thread :)
I had no part in the design or construction but kudos to the builder Blue Tick.
Anybody have a good way to keep the snakes, spiders, and other critters out?

I have 3 of these blinds, 1 of a different version, and one pit blind on my 300ac lease in S TX and have never found a snake in any of them. I always look when getting in but, to date, none have been found. All of these blinds have been in place for lots of years.

I like the looks of this one that Tracy (Shedrock) made for antelope: http://tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=118929;p=1#000000

Come to Minnesota in November/ December....
Just kidding, that is a good question, I always wondered what kind of creatures would find comfort in such a comfortable blind...
