Homemade Duck Blind

This year for our waterfowl hunt, we decided to construct a duck blind. So Dan and Sam engineered and constructed this amazing duck blind for the upcoming waterfowl season.  Using some old pieces of lumber laying around, and some other basic pieces of hardware, we were able to make a sturdy blind that had a platform about 4 inches above the water.  We engineered it so it could be taken apart in pieces, hauled by two people, and constructed on site.  Once on site and constructed, we transplanted some natural cattail vegetation around it, and we had ducks on the pond that night.  It took a couple of nights of work, and a day to take it out to the pond, but we are excited for opening day, October 2, 2010.  So far, there has been high numbers of ducks on our pond compared to past years, so that makes us even more excited.  Like everyone says, scout out your hunting spots before the hunt so you don't waste your time at a dump.

May it be noted that although it took both of our minds to figure it out, most of the construction of the duck blind was done by Bowen. I would also like to reiterate the comment and feeling of excitment for this years duck hunt :-P
