Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Default need help with blind!

I was recently dumping some debris off and the local trash dump and noticed the frame to one of those 9' x 9' canopy (like you would use tailgating) and wondered if anyone could give me some insight on how I could best turn this into a blind for turkey hunting. I would love to be able to make one like the matrix 360!! But anyways thanks of any suggestions.

drill a bunch of holes in it and stick branches or even old xmas tree's (plastic ones) branches in the holes...most turkey huntin is on the ground for us, i aint sure what this will help with, i'd say be still and get some good camo to match your area.

you could always go to local store... walmart meijer dicks etc. and buy the rolls of blind material and wrap it aroung the conopy... i would use the die cut material if i were you but its all about personal preferrence... seeing as it would be hard to fold up and transport after that i would find a spot and put it up in advance

yes hub style. If you buy one make sure it doesnt have plastic hubs. Only the metal hubs.

It will be placed on private land so it will remain throughout the season. I was just thinking I could use this frame and maybe wrap some camo tarps or blind material as stated before around it as a get blind to use or as quick shelter if needed to get out of a spring shower one morning. Thanks again for all of the suggestions.
