RE: home made hunting blind idea
I bought a blind from Wal Mart that comes in a nice carry bag you throw on your back like a pack. When you get to the spot you want, simply take it out of the bag, throw it on the ground and it pops right up. I carry tent stakes, and stake down the sides to the ground, and put a plastic rubbermade lawn chair inside. I sit in there with my shooting sticks and the rifle rests out the small slit in the front. I've had deer walk within ten feet of it and a grouse I thought was going to join me one day. Mine sat frozen to the ground all winter because of early snow. This spring I walked out, pulled the stakes, and it folded right up and back in the bag. It costed $39.00
