TF My chair is mostly chrome but my atv is camo. It would take a lot of camo tape to cover my chair. I try to use my Honda to get me to my blind and then cover it up. I can walk short distances so as long as I can get close, I can make it to my blind.

God Bless,

Your chair in a total enclosed blind will make no difference at all! In fact most times in a enclosed blind I don't even wear a head net - just stay back as far from the opening as you can - be in the shadows.

Well, the only thing that I'm lacking as far as gear is a couple for "Claw" slings for my son and I, a bipod for him and one more box of winchester shells for patterning. I've ordered the sights and decoys, they should arrive by Tuesday. Here's what I've got so far.

For Myself:
A new Remington 1187
A Turket vest
2 face masks
2 pairs of gloves
A Leafy suite
Ammo: Remington 4x6s, Federal #5s
A truglow choke and a Primos Jellyhead
A B-Mobile and a She-Mobile decoys
A pair of brush pruners
A Primos box call and a Knight & Hale Little Jenny
A Primos jackpot slate and a primos jackpot glass slate
A variety of mouth calls ( about a dozen)
A Primos crow call

For my son:
A Remington 870 Turkey Model shotgun
A jellyhead choke tube
3 different boxed of ammo
A jakes vest
1 Little Jenny
2 Jackpot slates
A Leafy suite
Gloves, mask, & hat
A tree seat
( he will be required to bring his Nintendo DS Game ) for the sake of my nerves.

Well guy's, other than the obvious stuff like range finder, binos, bug spray, therma-cell, water, anything else?

BT as much money as you spent 10 Rolls of Camos tape would have been Cheap...LoL

Seriously, you don't need to Camo it. However, I did think it would be Cool!!!

Back in the Day, I had a Camoed Jeep Wagoneer that I camoed with Spray Cans of OD Green, Flat Black, and Light Green. It covered up the Rust Holls are you could say "Camo-ed them"

A double would be nice. How far are you from Trenton? Maybe we can get together on a weekday or a Sunday afternoon.

??? about 30-40min never really checked just went. I got your # and yes we can get together in afternoon sometime until then when you scout try to find roost-strut-feeding areas may take a few early (pre dawn)am trips to figure it out. Finding these areas will help in figureing out a setup. BTW how old is your son April 5 is youth day and every day out is educational. I would offer to go with you then but I already have 2 kids lined up. If you want to try this we can meet pretty soon to start planning his hunt. I'll prob call you Sun. after church.
