Like a giant Mr Potatoe Head???!!!

Really great job on th build, you could sell those things!

Does that make sense?

Yes...thanks. Getting ready to re-cover mine and liked the way yours turned out.

We need some video of this!! If the deer are out of range this fall...well then you know what to do...pick up the blind and creep it towards them until you are close enough for a shot. That would be true Wile E Coyote style there.

Make sure your tip toeing tho...that's the only way to sneak up on something! I'm thinking about putting mine on wheels if I ever get around to making one...then I can just push it around the field!

I am on the lookout for some bicycle wheels. Then I want to fabricate a axle that you can remove easily. Then you can move around as needed.

Looks great, I built one a few yrs ago that doesnt look as good but works great. Dont wory about hiding/brushing it in. If you have a hay field the deer are using put it out wherever theyr'e feeding. I've had deer so close to mine I could hear them tear the grass as they fed and could also hear they're stomach growl!!

Wow that looks great! How heavy did it turn out to be ??

I am guessing a hundred or so pounds. Its more awkward than anything. I moved it around myself and positioned it myself. I need to move it about a hundred yards so I am going to try it by myself, so we will see how that goes.
