Thanks Tracy! I can't wait to get out there and chase some antelopes again this year. Last year was my first year and defiantly a learning experience. Good luck in August!

Thats a very cool blind.  I wish I could have been there to help

Excellent set-up Shedrock!

I hope you drop the string on a big-un!

Shoot straight, Shinken

 

Now were talking    

This should get a few fired up before the opener    

Thanks for sharing Tracy, great pics and I wish you luck. Shoot strait

Great job!

Tracy, that is a fantastic build along, a great idea for anyone, white tails etc...

I'm wondering what its like crawling in that den, with a family of rattlers in there in the dark, I'll bet that is interesting.

Mitch,
That would be a good place to send the "TURTLEMAN" that fella will go in after any critter and that's "Live Action"! Any one seen that show will know what I mean  

Great Thread. I have been thinking about something a little more thief resistant myself. These blinds look great. Thanks for sharing.

Nice tutorial, Shedrock. I build mine in a similar way only after setting the four white tops...maybe a little farther from side to side, I bend a gate panel and set it down between them...

So, you have a rectangle longer on the sides and shorter on the ends, with a wire mesh gate panel bent in between.

Cover that with burlap wool bags.

You dont have to cut shooting windows in the wire, at least on the sides. I cut one in each end.

The wool bags are cheap...well, they used to be. I dont know about know cause I have been using a pop up blind.

I have taken two Pope and Young antelop out of such a set up. Put it right at waters edge.

Once had 13 bucks come in together...the smart ones stayed on the far end of the line. Could have reached out and touched the youngest buck.

Good build along.

I went to the blinds this morning to check them and add some grass for more camo. The one blind in this pic was pretty dark looking. There was a doe there when I drove up. She is roughly 15 yards from the blind. There are 5 of us hunting here this fall with 5 buck tags, and 4 doe tags to fill. Come on Aug 15th!

I added a bunch of saw grass to both blinds, and put a trail cam in the shooting window. We will see whats been showing up.

     Good idea!

Looks great!

Tracy

Thanks for the "how to!"

Love seeing how guys in different parts of the US do things in their area. Already given me some ideas for some whitetail blind building.

Thanks again for sharing and good luck!
