VTbowman Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Ok folks I have spent a few mornings out building some archery ground blinds. Unfortunately my 2 kids get bored to quickly and I can not spent more time out there. That and those dang deer flies are killing us alive! Here is the 1st called "Pine Tree ground blind". It is NOT bushed up yet, nor painted black inside. I just wanted to show what the windows and walls looked like. Here is "Woods ground blind". Made roughly the same way but not quite as large nor with windows since its possible to shoot over the walls. My kids helped camo this one. This shot is at 5 yrds. Heres another angle from the deer trail 15 yards away. Here is one I have been wanting for years! So many hunts I saw deer pass on either side of this point of trees and I was about 80 yards away in one of the only trees big enough for a stand. This is built in the end of a ditch so its kinda 1/2 a pit blind too. Your head will be right about shoulder hieght to any deer walking by. This shot is at 10 yards. Here it is at about 50 yards. From the heavy deer trail that exits the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iabow Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Re: A few pics of ground blinds.... Looks good, me likey. Theres one spot on my hunting ground I've been thinking of building a ground blind in. Its in an open cow pasture with a set of 4 or 5 med. evergreens between two deer paths. I'm inspired.

buckee Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Re: A few pics of ground blinds.... Those look pretty sweet Shawn. Now if I could just find the time and energy to go put some together for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Re: A few pics of ground blinds.... Man, those are sweet. I can relate on how the kids tire out quickly. Mine hardly even follow me out to the field lately its been so hot. I made a "Buckee Special" last year. Your pallets give me an idea. Hmmmmmmm, now I need some cooler weather so I don't melt out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted August 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Re: A few pics of ground blinds.... I must give kuddos to VermontHunter for supplying the pallets. He gets them free he said, but still. Although he gets to hunt any of those blinds too. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Re: A few pics of ground blinds.... They are looking great Shawn. I really do like the looks of your new ground blind sets. Looks like you're getting pretty fired up already. I like it! Those deer will never know where the sting came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDubWSR Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Re: A few pics of ground blinds.... those look like some pretty sweet set ups there!!! the only advice i would give is to maybe on the "woods ground blind" since you are going to be shooting over the top edge. i would probably add some more brush on the opposite side of the main trail that you are hunting to help break up your outline, but not so much that it isnt possible to get a shot off the other way. i would deff sit my butt down and hunt out those blinds any day though!

James7xChamp3 Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Re: A few pics of ground blinds.... Nice work. Looks like some spots also. Good luck this season! I'd have one rule for your guest hunters though. No #24 camo allowed! Definitely bad luck. Sort of like Wriggley Field and Wriggley Stadium. The two just don't mix well together. Just messin with ya VH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] LOL....It can't be that bad of luck,,,,I nailed a doe with the ML last season wearing that hat.... And this season I'm after that BIG BOY Shawn has hidden up there.... Those blinds are sweet tho aren't they ... ,,,Who would have figured those old pallets would have been put to such a good use,,,,,I'll have to give to the COUNTRY HICK he's one inginuative good l ol' boy...

VTbowman Posted August 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Re: A few pics of ground blinds.... I will just consider his #24 to be for Manny Ramerez of the Red Sox. I know he love that team. LOL As a matter of fact if/when the #24 hat ruins his hunts, more power to me!!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Believe me Jim, Shawn has been one busy man the las few days,,,,,he's built those great looking and functional blinds, while taking care of his kids, and all in this unbearable heat.... Just makes me feel like a bum having other obligations to take care of and work I couldn't be out there helping out,,the best I could do is supply some materials....... It's really going to make me feel bad when I take that great looking 10pt. with my Alpine this Bow Season..... sorry Shawn but if that bad boy walks out in front of me I have a BH with his mane on it.....
