So renegade50 was turkey hunting last year and took a picture waaaaaay a field, actually over the state line from Fort Campbell and sent me the pic in a text. I thought well chit I like it, I can build one too. Always hunted with climbers, ladder blinds, improvised boards nailed to trees. Moved up to 360 Tripods from Academy last few years too. See a lot of ideas from other guys in other states, decided to hold solid to getting it done. Started right after Labor Day putting mock ups together on the shop floor. Really from Sept 8 till about October 20. Tried to do most of it without bothering family or friends. Had to get Renegade50 to help with handling the big pilings and concrete, dude was super helpful getting the metal skin on. Drill powered metal shears are sweet too. Site prep, First I sprayed 25 gallons of Roundup, 2-4,D and also 25 gallons of Malathion. And let it marinate for a few days Then scraped everything off. Might be able to see remnants of a ground blind we hunted out for a couple seasons too Floor framing 2x8, 2x6, screwed together and unscrewed and hauled out to the site More on page two

Nice looking blind. How are you going to keep illegals from squatting in it during the off season?
