Anyone try one of these or make their own? Checking out a site that in addition to selling the blinds, makes straw blanket covers to pull over your old pop-up. May have to give this a shot for the cornfields when cut or just place in a hayfield near the cornfields now. Just wondering of if anyone has had any experience with them. I like the concept and the ability to have more of a choice on where to put the blind versus having to brush it in to a certain spot that works for the camo pattern.

I know a guy who got a 6ft wide corrugated steel conduit and placed those straw mats on it... Its not a easily moved blind, but it sure is comfortable and roomy!

Thanks for the response. Looking at the straw blankets made to slip over your pop-up blind. They're $70 and look pretty convincing, though square. But I doubt a deer would say, hey, that's not a cylinder, something's up! I see some outfits sell kits with almost everything you need to make a blind like you mention. One provides everything except the plywood and 2x4s to make one that weighs just over 100 pounds but it's $300 and not looking to spend that $$$ right now. I'll have to think about the homemade approach for next year too. Thx again!
