I shot my first goose last week. Let's just say I've been scrambling to get some poor mans goose hunting gear assembled since.
I went to basspro.com to look at layout blind dimensions. Since I'm not a big guy, I went on the small end and wrote down some numbers. I went to my garage and looked through my scrap lumber. A few hours after shooting that goose I had the following assembled.
I had to get a few boards and fabric tacks to continue. After a trip to Lowes, I came back and finished the frame. I found some camo I had laying around and wrapped the frame.
I painted some chicken wire and stapled it to various parts of the blind. Then, I zip tied corn from my garden to the blind.
It probably weighs in about 40 pounds + and doesn't fold up. I plan to hunt less than 1-2 miles from home. I'll drive out to unload blind, decoys, gear etc. I definitely won't be transporting this by foot. It should work for what it's intended.
