I agree with Slice... that's certainly the best way without a blind, allowing you to sit without discomfort and draw undetected when the timing is right. Ahhh, but the PA GC says that using anything other than man-made material to construct a hide consitutes a violation here.

I can't understand that really, after all, the dead branches and such you use don't harm anything living in the woods, plant or otherwise, and there's nothing to pack out. I could see it if you were cutting live branches / plants / small trees and such, but old dead growth shouldn't matter IMHO. The code officer specified otherwise.

I did inquire if finding natural cover, like a blowdown tree with a root canopy exposed would be lawful and was told yes... BUT... only as long as the hunter didn't physically add and manipulate branches, to add to the natural cover. Go figure.

Personally, I think that's an odd law, but you may want to check your state guidelines just in case.

I'd use the material you spoke of in conjunction with natural cover so you have at least a chest high hide while seated. It'll work well for your turkey bow hunt.
