Duck blind build

[Bdub]

Looks nice but I personally wouldn't be spending that much on a duck blind in the marsh. I'll be building a new one soon though...I hope I don't have to spend much if anything, prolly gonna bust up some pallets. Make sure you build some sort of backrest. One of the blinds I hunt out of doesn't have one and it makes those slow mornings uncomfortable.

The last one I built like this is still standing after 5 seasons. I used plywood for the floor and it rotted in one corner so this time I went with 3/4 inch x 6 inch treated deck boards. Put em close but once they dry out they will shrink and will leave about 1/4 inch gap- just enuf for water to drain but not wide enuf to losses shells or other items. I will be putting cedar fence panels on the front and back and that will serve as a backrest.

That's how I roll but I usually only build a two man blind, dig up natural grass a plant around the blind. By the second year, you have to know where it is or you can't find it. Pallets don't last that long but are easy and cheap to replace.
