Ground Shooting House

Bluejay · 06-29-2009, 09:57 AM

below are pictures from an economicalground shooting house design i have located. i would suggest using horse type feedlot panels 60" x 16' with 2" x 4" mesh.

comments?

Looks like it'll work. You could even stuff some branches i n the mesh to brush it in some.

I am gonna say a member from Aldeer came up with that idea because I have seen several pictures of that stand from start to finish... Geronimo might be able to remember

Very nice!!! but it looks bigger than 2"x4" mesh....maybe 6"x8"????....:letsdrink

I'd be a little concerned about the noise associated with that tarp.When it gets real cold I suspect that its going to make a good bit of noise.

I believe you are correct Tim.

I would rather wrap it in mill felt than a tarp - felt lasts longer and is a whole lot quieter!

I too, have seen that on ALdeer- actually thought it is a great idea.

Good reminder. Thanks for posting, Blue Jay.

Thats a good idea for a ground blind. The one thing I don't like about is the tarp. In the picture you can see the sun shining off it and I was thinking it might spook the deer but maybe not. I have one made out of pvc pipe and camo burlap.

I too have used PVC and burlap, that makes a great blind for around $40. If it tears up just get out the PVC glue
