What Did You Do Today?

Eric Krewson:
I used all the cut limbs from my woods cleanup to build a ground blind overlooking my plot and the deer trails. The blind is about 50 yards from the plot

I started with a framework; I like to use the existing trees as support, the right tree spacing gives me an entrance.



All brushed in, this will be a flintlock blind with shoot through holes. I sat in the chair and held my flintlock to make sure I had the support poles at the right height to use them as a gun rest. I can't shoot to the right or behind the blind because of the houses 200 to 300 yards away, there is only woods to the front of the blind.



A comfortable chair is a must.



I keep adding brush to the blind, this is what it looks like now.

Looks like a comfy hunting spot Eric.

I love the skills here! California is just too dangerous to hunt in.... more likely to get shot than shoot something. It is also expensive comparitively.  Over taxed and over regulated! Thank you all for your stories. Today I lamented the possible demise of PA....

osage outlaw:
I helped my stepson get a nice doe today.  It's the last weekend of our gun season.  He put a great shot on it and he watched it go down close to our trail.  Next year maybe his little sister will get one.
