  1. glad you liked it Glad you liked the haybale blind or in Wyoming we made it a straw bale blind. Even better they got their antelope from the bale blind. It helps to have Steve B's advice on where to hunt---he knows antelope and a few other critters. Gillette, Wyoming is one beautiful place. Once winter comes it would be crazy to sit on those plains looking for a mule deer without the help of a hay bale blind to break the wind and sleat. But if you had a bale blind, an alfalfa field and some coffee you would be good to go.
  2. hay bale blindsI couldn't attach two pictures to one reply so here is the hay bale blind in a clover field for early season hunting in Missouri. The deer were still on a summer feeding pattern and we got really close. Two gaggers came into 62 yards, just too far for a bow shot.But come late rifle season and with temps in the teens and the wind blowing-- my round bale blind, hay bale blind or straw bale blind will be the cat bird seat- waterproof and windproof.Spring Tom from www.ChasingTheOutdoors.com
  3. Round bale blinds, straw bale blinds, hay bale blindsYou can cover a hay bale blind in all types of covering. Straw works really well, so we should call it a round bale blind with straw. Or a hay bale blind looks great with alfalfa vegetation.I use some old bahia from a small round bale I was feeding my goats and the thing fooled all my neighbors. Even the guys who hunt. They just thought I wasn't buying the small round haybales anymore, but I was buying the big round bales.
  4. AP mostly, I still use some advantage for turkey hunting, hardwoods is what my warm jacket is.
  5. they just plain open em up, I've only taken one doe with a rage 2 blade and it was a blood trail a blind man could follow.
  6. Indiana has great deer hunting, but stuck between Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky it doesn't get much press. BUT it holds good bucks.
  7. Cool pics, nothing beats a live decoy, but you can't move a muscle with one that close.
  8. I used was at Troy State, now Troy, when Tressel was at Youngtown State. He is a good coach, but I'll have to end by saying GO GATORS!!!
  9. LSU is unreal at night when at home- I think thier streak is 32 games. Can Florida go in there and pull it out without Tebow at 100%? It's not even certain Tebow will play.
  10. bull fighting is for wimps. Try bull riding- now that is a good reason to piss off an animal.
  11. it's called Global Warming--- just plan a friggin rally with all your tree hugger friends and call Dork Gore to come speak and the run ways into your local airport will be frozen over. It has happened to the chicken little's of global warming-- lmao. We did have record temps in Florida today, but we are good for sun and heat. Bring on the 40 degree cold days.
  12. hay bale blindMy design of the hay bale blind has been effective in Wyoming at Steve B's and in Illinois on whitetail this year alone. Of course I will zap a few Florida deer out of one at my place, but Wyoming and Illinois are way more exciting. People come to Florida to gator hunt, fish and look at bikini's-----I mean go to the beach.
