Good idea or no

I stacked up some square bales leaning against the platform of the blind. Good idea or not? Wasn't sure if maybe them leaning up against the wood would hold moisture from rain etc. and be a bad thing to be leaned up on the platform.

The blind is on the crest of a hill, behind me the field slopes downward. Can approach the blind from the field in the background of the pictures and should be able to climb up without being seen with the ladder blocked off.

Great idea if hay is free and it blocks what you need or you can put burlap around base and block all 3 sides

I vote bad idea. Looks like a torch waiting to be lit to me , mouse heaven, moisture holding, mold home.
Good luck!

I too would be concerned about fire risk...even if you don't purposely burn on your place. I know of multiple blind burndowns...including one on my own farm. (From a neighbor)

Also, that hay will attract mice for sure and maybe some other undesirables. That may lead to "chewage" that you don't want.

you guys are right. Im going to take them down. I think stapling some burlap around it will be the go

I did brush and instantly had mice in that blind.
