Use some wooden factory pallets. You can get them free in about any town in the country. I wire three together,usually between a couple trees, with baling wire. Leave the last one loose to just lean up for a door. Put a piece of wood across in the back for a seat or put a garage sale lawn chair in there. I put a piece of salvaged barn metal on top for a roof.
The space between the slats is perfect to shoot through in any direction.
Couldn't agree more. We have a few well constructed blinds that people spent well over $500 on and the one that has seen more bucks in the past 5 years is one on the ground made of 2x4s and plywood.
If you can't get the plywood from a construction site or something along that lines. I would do what Jack said with the pallets. Personally, I would take 2 2x4's and hammer them at the edge of the front pallet for stability and wire the other two on the side. Also, I would try to place it with a larger tree at your back. It wil break up your outline. The one I use is plywood side with a large tree at my back. You can throw some branches in the pallet slits and it will break it up quite nicely.
If you want a roof, you can get some longer 2x4s and attach a piece of plywood at the top and if you have your back to a tree you atttched the back of the plywood tothe tree and you have your self a roof. Theses are just my thoughts. Ive used the brush pile idea before and has worked, but with a little work and minimal $$ this type of blind would work great and give youa little bit more cover. Just my $0.02. Good Luck!
