I think he made a pit/ground blind out of rocks, right BJ?
bjrogg:
Shawn it’s kind of a elevated pit blind. There are a few Basswood trees just to the side of the pit blind and the pit is dug into The side of the hill. Actually into a stone pile on the side of the hill. You are correct. Not many trees left here. Except for the ones I have planted. It was all ash here before the bore killed them all several years ago. The raspberries took over now and the deer still really like to travel through this area.
I don’t have tons of cover, but it’s just the start of spring here yet. Not even any leave on trees yet. I think the weeds and raspberries will grow up around and behind me. I think by being dug out two feet and natural growth that will occur. I’m hoping for enough cover. I am worried about not being in the shadows though. The afternoon noon sun will probably light me right up. I’m thinking long term I can develop this into a nice spot.

PS more cover here than my first two selfbow kills. I would really like to be in the shadows though.

OK, here's my garden patch. Doesn't look like much yet, but it has potential. It's about 45'x48'.

Tree swallows know they're cool...even if they're a little confused about what house they belong to.

All three of my baby hazelnuts made it through the winter! This one looks like it's going to blossom soon.

This is going to be a tomato/herb garden right out the kitchen door.

Don't have any pics yet, but peach and cherry trees are leafing out, real sure the blossoms got hit by a hard freeze 2 weeks ago, plum tree got knocked over by the dogs, and didn't survive replanting. It should make a very stylish walking stick after it is cured. Would it be best to debarkit and seal the ends? Looks like all the blueberries will make it, thought one didn't but saw leaves poking up yesterday, strawberries are making good blossoms, everything gets a drink today! Got garlic and chives, too.
