Illinois59 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I have seen the Doublebull hay bale blind on television but as far as i know it is not available for sale yet. Does anyone know about the status of this blind? I would love to have one. If not, does anyone have a homemade hay bale blind? If so, would you share the plans with the rest of us? Thanks.

DocMort Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I have hunted out of ours a few times, my dad and brother swear by it. The took a roll of burlap/camo netting, 2 round bales, a sheet of ply-wood. Put the bales 5-6 feet apart the netting up as high as you can sit and still shoot over, on the back and front The ply-wood on top of the bales. Seems to work alright. mainly use it for gun season.

backwoods07 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I've seen some for sale online, but I'm not too sure if they were made by double bull. If I'm not mistaken, you're talking about the blinds that have a wire frame that you cover in hay and look exactly like hay bales? I'll cruise the net today and try to find the website.

Spring Tom Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Tom Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Tom Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakota Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 It certainly worked real well out in Wyoming last month! Both Seth and Bruce shot their bucks out of there in three days. Thanks for letting us use it! Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Tom Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt Dawg Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Hay Bale Blinds I recently found some folks that make a great hay bale blind. I actually drove by their place a hand full of times thinking they where real haybales until I saw their sign. The guy (I think his name was Clayton) said they where $160 or $170. They seemed to be very durable. They sale them completely assembled, or in kits, and I think you can even buy just the instructions and materials list, however I tried pricing out some of the materials and I didn't see how I could do it for less than $250 myself. Everywhere else I've seen online sales them for $500 and up. They also have a website, www.haybaleblinds.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shootit Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Bale BlindsBuilt my own. About $300.00 in material and 3 days labor. The next one will take 1/2 the time because of not having to engineer by the boot straps. I will pick this blind up and hall it back to the shop when the snow melts for a few modifications and then use it for hunting turkeys this spring. This blind is semi-permanent, holds 2 adults, and can be heated with a buddy heater. Takes a couple bodies to load in back of pickup or a strong body to wiggle it on a trailer.

Jeramie Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Some of the best hunts if had were hunting from a haybale. I typically just stood between them and used them for cover. A good blind would work like a charm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
