Deer blind placement ,cover added ,and review

Here is the cattle panel deer blind set up with camo from the area. Almost in center of pic just inside tree line
And a few pic looking out over top of deer blind.








Heres one a little closer on the opposite side, again inthe center just to left of the larger pine.
I was somewhat impressed with the way it blended in the surroundings.
Just a few problems to mention. Its a little short. I am right at 6 ft put a cheap walmart bag chair inside and sit a few inches higher than I would like. Maybe I'll come up with some way to raise it or maybe not. The other thing is the door needs to open a little wider ,a few adjustments on the burlap should fix this.
Good things: plenty ofroom for myself and at least one kid. Slows the wind down pretty decent.(could use some type of a heat source though lol it was cold this morning). It did set up pretty quickly just under 5 minutes at about 30 minutes to an hour before daylight. Although choosing a location is better in the daylight. Blends in with surroundings really well and appearantly contains scent and deadens noise. Had the neighbors bloodhound walk right up to us and circled us several times before he realized we were in there.

First deer blind

Here is the blind folded up. Just guessing i'd say about 50 to 60 lbs. Plus chair laying on top. Standing it is roughly 55 inches by 65 inches by 50 inches tall.



The window 2 in each wall. big enough to get 45/70 deer rifle out with scope and still have room to aim with good range left and right.


Pic from about 25 yards. There is a kid in there with full orange on. Just needs some natural camo from the deer woods around it .
2 --16 ft cattle panels-------$50

approx. 20 yards of tan burlap $40 (on inside and top)

approx. 8 yards of camo burlap $30 (outside) yeah i know its two different prints.lol

total $120
