Blinds

[ducks55]

Im thinking of building a new blind either along the edge of a pond or in it along the side in the cat tails. Im looking for some ideas so if you have pictures of your blind or others that you like post them please!

Are you looking for a temporary set up or a permanent set up.  Aero outdoors has a good set up you can purchase.  They are located in Tri-Cities area.  Or an easy one is field post with a wrap of horse fense then weave in grass.  If you want a permanent set up, build a box blind, run some 1x2" slats 12" apart and staple chicken wire or field fence and deck it out with crass bundles with flip down doors on the front.  It works good. 
Quick and easy you can use bambo poles, zip tie them then hang Avery quick grass panels from it.  Lots of combos to choose from.
This site also has lots of ideas http://www.duckhuntingchat.com/

Here is a pic of a 4'x8' blind.  It hunts 2 comfortable and 3 tight.  If you want to hunt a few guys make it a 12' but camo the heck out of it.  Concellment is my best advise if you want quality shooting.

Here is what we do. Bring a half dozen sections of electical conduit. I wrapped mine with camo tape...  Stick them in the marsh wherever you need, and hang some blind material up, hide behind them. I also converted a golf umbrella with some camo material, hide beneath it while the birds circle....  Hide your boat too!

Iceman did you make one end of the PVC pipe pointed so it would go into the ground better or did it work fine just with the blunt end?

roadkill, we use 1/2 inch steel electrical conduit. No pointed ends, blunt. Just push them in and you are good to go. These are 8 foot long sections, long enough to go thru four feet of water and into 2 feet of pond muck to support our winduks, ...., use them to support blind material....  I have seen the plastic ones break when frozen, ....opted for steel. Get er' done!

Ah makes sense i was thinking you were using the plastic PVC but the steel would definately have more support, just a big weight difference if walking into your spot

The 1/2" electrical conduit is about $3 and some change for a 10' section.  Works good.
