ive been workin on it for a week or so today is the last day im goin out there until the season starts. there isnt to much sign but at the curve of the hill theres a game trail and im using that new scent i bought so hopefully i get some meat in the fridge

Cool 
Is it one those quick set up blinds that you buy or did you really build it? 

[Duban]

there was a bunch of sapling trees so i cut them down used the tops as the out side and sort of made a lean-to with the other parts of the tree

[Duban]

i sit behind it on the rock i was gunna try to make one that surrounds me but i couldnt figure out how

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.

We dont get no pictures of the actual blind?
C'moan maaaaaan. Thats what were looking for here.

^ agreed 
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. 

[Duban]

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

Duban and Fins , i got out today for a aday off and did some hunting . got some pics on the cell phone so they may not do it justice just did some ruff measurement 10 ft long. 8 ft at the widest 3 feet at the narrowest. have to get some of the pics from the cell to the pc and then thru shutter fly. Duban i went back and looked at the pics and you are coered around the front and look good , I misintrepreted the pics before .another post to follow

You sure have the makings of a great blind Duban.  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.

That'll work
You been watching Bear Grylls

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.

[shaddragger]

That's a good lookin blind, Duban,in a good lookin spot!

[pitw]

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.
