Sniper hide for deer/coyote hunting

**rbthntr64** · 11-12-2007, 12:40 AM

Just got this done enough to put on the field for opening weekend in Missouri. I have an older gentleman that I have hunted with for years and he needed a place to get out of the weather so I put this together for him. WHat do you guys think?

Cool looks like a good blind now all you have to do is keep the kids from the hood from taking it over as a tree fort...... LOL

good strucher and looks cool
but i thinc it riquiers one more litle touch if used durieng day time
you got to cover it with fresh natural tree branches not to look human made thing
it will increase the chance of the animale getting close to it without fear
branches with enoph leafs on m
i use to build mine 100% out of tree stocks ans branches for that reason,that is cheaper and fun to build and i dont hav to wory about what is gonna happen to it after i am don with it

deer will see that a mile away. put some burlap on it and ghillie it up with local plants and trees!

Nothing in nature is black or shaped like a box. As Glock said, guillie it out with burlap and natural brush. It needs to just kinda melt into it's surroudings. Break up it's outline and make it look like an old brushpile.

Don't need to camo it up. A mature doe Deer walked right up to it and got some lead medicine from my 30-06 yesterday. It doesn't look like a box in B&W with the break up lines on it. It might look cooler if I did though.
Thanks

Get a little propane heater and a comfortable chair and you're all set. As long as the deer have time to get used to the blind you shouldn't have to try to cammo it too much. For years I hunted on an old hay shed and the deer would look to see if some one was around the shed, but thats about it.

I've found camo'ing blinds isn't necessary either, just let it sit out there for a month.........they'll get used to it.
