We don't do fall food plots, we feed protein year round, we have 256 feeders and use about $400,000 per year in feed. I plant lab lab in the early spring. Camp meeting or canvas was what I was thinking but how to rig it up to withstand the very stiff winds we get was more my concern I guess
man that's a HOT place where ever your at.
I had a job offer many yrs back to be a guide on a ranch like this, BIG money operation, but turned it down due to I hate the heat and well, place had a lot of snakes(rattlers)
as for building blinds, again, that is the best option, if your Boss's are cheap, they can be build for a LOT less than buying pre built one's
and you can add vents to them , or even use larger window screen to the tops so they always vent up high, I am guessing, rains are far and few, so any water that MIGHT get in one would dry pretty fast? plus screens will let light in , can add roll down shades if one wanted the inside dark too!
400K on feed, WOW thats a LOT of food, I hope some of that goes towards cattle
but feed adds u[ fast and 200+ feeders, again WOW
sounds like a full time job just filling feeders
if it wasn't for the heat, I say sounds like a good job you have
but dealing with clients can be a handful I am sure?
all the more so some with deep pockets that think things should always go there way!
but if there spending that kind of $$ on feed, it shouldn;t be that hard to sell them on real blinds
Cabela''s and bass pro and the likes now all carry lines of real blinds now, over just pop up's?
if you contacted a few makers and asked about BULK buying prices, you might find some super deals?
all comes down to how many you want to get??
I built a super heavy duty 6x6x6 blind, cost me about 900 bucks to build
fully insulated, and on skids to be move able.
I would think, you could do the same, or maybe for less pending design
and they can be made a lot lighter than what I did!
