Time to upgrade around these parts. Hunted out of a pontoon last 3 years, and decided we need a blind. So this summer while everyone is out practicing salt life, river life, yak life, and whatever else. I'm trying to earn my hardcore waterfowler sticker / badge, but I really don't need any stinking badges. I know this is something you flat land people don't do, so here is the start. Also all them guys that want to hunt won't answer their phone we you want to set light poles and it's 117 heat index.

Day 1


Day 2

Nice!
Keep this going. Need a good thread on here this summer.

You can move this if ya need to bub. Thought I posted in the waterfowl forum and not the general. Your call, and I will keep this updated.

Looking like this sucker is going to be roomy. How big are you building?

It's going to be bigger than we normally build. This one will be 36 x 24

I finished one off a few years ago by myself. Had to build it while in a riverhawk. Walls and roof and such. It was a logistical beast.

My goodness We have a 6'x16' that hunts 6 comfortably. That thing is going to be massive!

Got quit a bit done this weekend. I was out at the ballgame while the other's pitched in, and got the sub floor done. Ole blind is coming along but we aren't ahead of schedule at all. It frosted 2 weekend of October, and we have another blind that will need its yearly cleaning and brushing. So we have to been done asap or we will be in a pickle.

Looks great,

That dirt looks a little finer than any gumbo mud that I've ever put a duck blind in - makes the digging a little easier for 20+ posts.

I wouldn't even know where to begin if it was gumbo. I saw a dirt dauber that couldn't fly cause he was gummed up with gumbo. I had no clue how bad that stuff was till I moved the delta. This dirt is pretty fine, and ran into clay about 3 foot deep, but nothing like the stuff that is from the delta.

Few more weeks and we will have it down to the minor stuff.

Even has a place for the band in the back right! Good lookin blind.

That looks awesome

Looks good!
