My everlasting Evergreen ground blind
This is made of artificial Christmas trees.You can get them free when people throw them away.Or yardsales real cheap.They never get brown and attach real easy with the wires there made with.Just another idea.It looks like it sticks out like a sore thumb in the pic,but there is real evergreens around the area so it fits in especially in the early bow season.

That's a damn good idea. Where I sometimes hunt, the pine barrens of NJ, that thing would fit right in. I do the same thing with real branches, but they turn brown after a week or so and really stick out. Thanks.

I don't know why that type of setup would dry out so fast for you 6ptsika....I threw my christmas tree, a blue spruce, out in the back treeline during the first week of January and it still looks as fresh as the day it was cut down.

i can usually build a fir blind out here and it last the season, either firs, cedar, hemlock.etc.....
if the spot works well over a couple seasons i tie the tops down (saplings) to another one. stays alive, continues to grow and makes a great ground blind.

RE: My everlasting Evergreen ground blind
I don't know fellas, maybe because it's just a couple miles from the beach?? Not sure what kind of tree I use, but they grow all around my one spot, and they don't last too long at all, certainly no more than a month. The needles more or less fall off after they dry out.
