I buy up old artificial xmas trees, 6 to 7 or so feet tall, I place them in a circle about 8 feet side to side outside diameter, I then place a swivel barstool in middle, all critters quickly get used to this blind as they do not know difference of artificial or real, had deer bed down in blind, seems to last almost for ever also, I get most of my tree,s for as little as $5 bucks each, the tree,s also make natural v shooting lanes. a few years ago I shot a 7 point 2 feet from blind
