I went to set up my ground blind to air it out, and a few of the poles were broke clean off. That is unfortunate, since most of my spots this year require GB's. Since im cheap, i realized i have a lot of 36" rabbit fence and poles lying around.
Any reason not to set sections of this up around bushy areas for some front concealment, obviously with brush from the area weaved into it. I figure its gotta be better to try and draw a bow from behind that. Also its cheap, light weight, and if it gets stolen im not out much.

Should work fine as long as you can get vegetation through the little holes.
I saw plans a few years ago for a ground blind made out of hog panels. They put a dark colored material against the back side to completely cover it after the wove/tied the vegetation on.

I don't care for the camo nylon tent type blinds. Much prefer to just make a little concealment out of the nearby natural materials. Tent blinds cost money, they flap in the breeze, they collapse in snow and blow away in high winds, and you can't see as good out of them. Only benefit is protection from the rain and they might be a bit warmer.
Duck hunters have been building nice brush blinds for many years. Take a page out of their book.

Ive done natural blinds before, just thonking about trying something new.
Im pretty confident with my scouting this year, and I have a dozen or so spots, so im trying out new things.
Even going to try using a turkey decoy to hopefully catch a deers interest.
If something doesnt work, ill go hunt a new spot for a few days

One morning while turkey hunting I had a doe that was obsessed with my hen decoy. Telling her to go away didn't work. I had to get up and wave my arms to make her leave. No idea why she was so interested.

This spring I put a stick in the ground to mark the location to plant a tree. The next day I watched three does spent a hour trying to figure out what it was and how to walk past it. I should have filmed it. They were half scared of it and half curious. I was amazed that they noticed the stick, it only stuck up about a foot. They tried many times trying to go around it and each time they backed off.
