bow blinds

[trophy8]

well we finally found a lease, and now the other hard stuf comes along with it. we have all feeders but need to get blinds to hunt in!! kind of strapped for money because of lease costs, new bow, feed and all that good stuff so would like to keep it under 200 each to make, does anyone have any ideas?

This one cost around $200 http://discussions.texasbowhunter.co...ead.php?t=5256

I dart deer (tranq gun) using brush blinds a lot...distances are the same as bowhunting (less than 30 yards)

Just cut brush and stack it up in a U shape (around where you sit) as high as you want it...

Doesn't get any cheaper than that and the deer get used to it almost immediately.

Mind was about $200. Don(Bo-n-aro) also has a good blind here.

Shop for your lumber in new subdivisions, I got all of my lumber in the trash boxes they have out front just take your tape measure with you so you get the ones that are long enough!!

If you are going to put it out in a permanent spot, check out the homemade blinds thread in the DIY section. You can make one in a couple of hours for less than $100. They will last for years.

I'd buy one pop up like a carbon venture. You can get it off ebay for around 100 delivered. Then, when I hunted and found a spot I wanted a more permanent blind, I'd build a cattle panel/carpet blind for that spot and move the pop up to another spot. etc.

If you want to keep the cost of the carpet blind down, go find some old carpet that they put out on the side of the road and use that. It won't last as long as the indoor/outdoor, but it'll be free.

I've had one at my Road Feeder for 7 seasons. I've patched the roof once and replaced the roof this past season, but other than that, it's like the energizer bunny, it just keeps going and going and getting deer and turkeys killed.

A brush blind is OK and I've spent many hours hunting from them, especially when you use the reed stuff to fill in the gaps, but there's no scent help from them and I'd tend to go with an enclosed blind.

I have heavy duty Camo netting I would let go for 200.00 Each I have three of them. You bould a wood frame and these would last for years
