I have one similar to what u have there. 10 ft long 8ft wide, some advice... those 3(6) trees make a triangle . Lay a forked limb on each of the trees and then on the ground. get something really brnachy to lay across the forked limbs u layed against the tree and on the ground . kinda look like this . I  will be the tree >< will be the forks  I>---  ------<I  .     In summary one forked limb off of each of the trees in opposite dircetions and branch sections to hold the leaves u will be piliing on . When done will be like a trianlge shape bird nest. Sticks criss crossing each other off the trees and something to hold the leaves u will be piling on. if need message me and will call ya

That's a good start on your blind Duban. Put some of those ground leaves all over the green ones til you can step back & see that it blends in nicely.

^ agreed  :biggrin:
It's kinda hard to tell exactly from the pics, but the only other thing I'd recommend is
shooting lanes. It's "thin" enough you can see the deer fine, but it looks thick enough
that it might be kinda hard to get a clean shot off if one comes trottin through there.
Like I said, it may not be that way at all when you're there.  It sucks when a nice one
comes through within shooting range, but ya can't get a shot off because of garbage
in the way.  :eyebrownod:

thats what my blind is made out of is clearin all the garbage outta the way for lanes and just throwin in a pile but then i decided to use the resources instead of just throwin it around

You sure have the makings of a great blind Duban.  :yoyo: I'm sure once you see how much game is traveling thru there you'll want to build the side in more. All you need there is some brush to break up your outline from the left in case that big buck comes from the unexpected angle. It won't take much just some sapling tops pushed into the ground so you still have a small doorway. I like it.  :biggrin:

Solid looking blind Duban, those pics show much better view looks very good. Like the little support u built in front. Leaves will probably dry up on but may still be thick enuff to cover.

That is a great looking setup and should work real well.  Good on you for doing it with the stuff on hand instead of forking out dough to someone who doesn't even hunt for the same results. :bowingsmilie:
