I was drawn for a state park blind over here in Ohio. Its actually just a location to build a blind. I need some ideas. Id like it to be big enough for 4 people, easy to put up, and take down. This is my first go around and I dont have a clue as to what I need to do

Are you on dry ground or over water?

Are you on dry ground or over water? It depends on the location. Im just trying to get some ideas ahead of time. |

I'm going to try making a blind from 3 big mirrors. I don't think that would work on public ground. Someone would probably break them.

Before you invest in a lumber yard full of building materials you want to make sure your building the blind on the "X".
If your building this blind on an untested location then I would make it a simple couple posts driven into the ground with some rope or wire strung around it and camo burlap hung on it with oak branches attached to it.
If you know for sure that the location is a season long location that will be yours again from year to year then build to your hearts content, use treated material if possible.
Big and roomy with a roof overhead buried with more than enough camo to last it all season.
Cut oak branches while the leave are green they will stay on for years.

Depends on the area and vegetation.
I hunt lakes and marshes with good buck brush and clay bottom so just a stool works.
I have an a frames as well. It is mobile and easy but could do just as good with t posts and cattle panels. Use scrap skids for floor if messy.
Good luck

Thanks guys. Ive got a few ideas. I'll know for sure on the 15th what exactly I have. Really looking forward to it bc its about 15 mins from the house. Hopefully birds cooperate for the kids sake.
