$628.18 For a New Blind

Preliminary perfection

With a full day of hunting at the 'Other Other Side' I convinced Clider to help build a new blind at 'The Tip'.  All it took was a ham Sammy and the belief that we were just going to set a couple stakes in the ground while it was still warm and muddy enough to do that.

Active perfection

I know that soon enough there will be a hard freeze and much lower water levels and we will be hard pressed to find open water that doesn't involve death defying boat trips into the river.  We had packed stakes, hammer, twine and shears (not the big shears, or my chair for that matter) in the truck before heading out to watch ducks today so we were ready to build.  If you look hard at the first photo you will see that other, less thoughtful, hunters had left us some beer cans and lots of empty shells at 'The Tip'.  As Clider was pounding stakes I set to cutting grass.  He was stymied by the act of stringing twine so I took over and soon enough we had this fine looking blind you see here.  It even has a backdrop built in so nothing coming from behind us will be able to realize we are ready to drop them from the sky like a bag of feathered bricks.  Good luck avoiding us suckers!

Only time will tell if the new 'Tip' blind will be something we use soon or weeks from now but one thing is sure.  It was $628.18 well spent.
