New duck blind build

[ScubaLatt]

Building a new duck blind for my lease. Dimensions are 10' long x 35" deep. Bench is 8'. Will wrap with hog panels and use salt grass "brooms" to brush with. Dog stand is on right side. My BIL is an Army sniper so he decided he needed to camo paint it!

Wow... sounds like you could drive a boat into that thing? and park it. lookin good so far.

Very nice. If you need someone to help you test it out, I'm game! I'd fit perfect on that bench. Lol

Spreads too easy, eventually gets out of hand.

Gotta spray it a few times a year. May, June, and August. Put out 100 gallons of Erasure/24-D, and spreader sticker over three ponds and trails three trails each spray.

Thought about going with that design but decided to go with platform this year. If I like where I am then I'll go with the sunk blind.

I built a platform last year. Wanted something different this year.

Built one very similar to Scuba's last night. Scuba, you plan on having the floor under water? Or you gonna raise it to water level? Still deciding on what I'm gonna do. Tired of the barrel blinds. Can't move worth a crap in them.

Floor will be just at water line. Here's a pic of it in place. More work to do but getting there.

Kitchen? Reminds me of how weird us duck hunters are. We work out butts off to build blinds and take care of our spots. We spend hours rigging decoys and grassing blinds. We buy all the latest hunting clothes and gadgets we can afford. Just to go hunting and try and shoot a limit as fast as we can.

Wow nice blond I bet that was a beast to grass up.

We built a 16' X 3' platform blind this year, 2ft for the dog,2ft to step off boat with tennis shoes and 12 to hunt in.

So far we have sunk about 12 bales of hay, and transplanted a lot of grass.

We built the blind on the edge of marsh, front has good vegetation but the back was trampled in the building process.

Sooo had the bright idear to build a "raised bed" for the Salt Meadow Marsh Grass behind the blind about 2ft off the ground to help break up the blind and give us 2 levels of grass.

We built the frame for the "raised bed" then layed down grated fiberglass.
Then we laid burlap on top grated fiberglass and used 2"X6" for the outside frame to hold the vegetation.

After the frame was built I spread out a block of peat moss, wet hay and mud on the burlap before we transplanted the grass.

The goal is to grass this blind once and hopefully the grass will take root and grow.

All that being said I will prob never build a platform blind again, its good for the kids and comfortable but it's a mother #### to grass.

I will try to post some pics later.
