RE: home made hunting blind idea
Man alive! I've been away too long, been out catfishing, scouting and such. My homemade blinds are similar to rafsob's but a smaller version. I use zinc coated screws everywhere and they do not rust. You can get wood for free, just go around to construction sites and ask for any scraps, most guys I know will give you more than you know what to do with. You could always go natural and use what mother nature leaves you in the woods. Meaning brush in an area with limbs and leaves, moss etc to the size you need, you could even tie it all together with rope so it would be there all year. I know guys who still have em after 4 years,they still have to freshen them up a little by adding new leaves, limbs but hey it's free and it works well in the wind and cold.
