We have some of the same blinds in the tumbleweed version. They come apart in 3 sections for transporting. Assembly time is less than 2 min. They work great in fence rows and out in grass pastures where there are no trees.

That is a great blind. Do you have to push the front open to shoot? We use cut cedars trees along a fence row as a blind. I want some kind of blind that I can 'quick shoot' out of and don't need to move anything to take the shot. These crows will juke you if they see you move for the shot around here.

Thanks for the compliments. We have made 14 or 16 of these blinds in the last 3 years, in 2 different versions. The one pictured is the first version and you pop out through the top. The foliage curls in to cover you up from above. With this blind you only need a camo hat to be totally concealed. The front panel is hinged and bungee corded for access in and out, and I guess if you want you could fling the front panel open to shoot. The only downfall of this version is after you have popped out the top several times you need to keep adjusting your overhead foliage so that you don't get a big gaping hole showing. The pic I showed is one I just threw the cedar limbs on real quick,if you take a few mins. you can make them look exactly like a small cedar tree. The cedar branches stay green for a couple months in the winter time.The new version has only two side panels and two door panels and you have to fling open a door to shoot. I made these so that they are idiot proof.....as long as the doors are closed your concealed. As for being effective , I had my buddy who's land we were hunting come out in the field to talk and he drove right by 4 of us in our blinds (within 8 feet) in a dirt bare fence row. When goose hunting we use between 6 to 10 of these at a time in the tumbleweed version. The new version in tumbleweed , I can haul 15 blinds in the back of my pick up. I'm trying to post more pics but computer wants to freeze up in upload.

Doc:

Fine craftsmanship, sir and your innovative design is one of the true marks of an apex predator. With that image of your dog in that blind that answers the question of, "will that dog hunt?"

Here is how you come up shooting out of the cedar tree blind. You can pop the front open, but the front was made for an entrance.

Chuck, I want one!!!

Interesting blind for open country. Just a bit short for my liking as one has to expose himself for a shot. Once surviving incomers spot the shooter they will fade off and likely not return for another going over. Just my 2 cents smile

Build it any size you want it. You could shoot out of this one sitting on a stool, just bend the frame wire up taller so that the foilage is up to head high.
