Disappearing Ground blinds - TexasBowhunter.com Community Discussion Forums

Bodey · 08-28-2013, 09:00 PM

A couple of weeks ago, I posted my mass production ground blind process. We took 13 of the new blinds to Water Valley this weekend and buried and brushed them in. We had a lot of excavating and construction going on and had big help from Bone Thug and Kings X. It was hot hard work but we thought you might like to see some of the work and results.

Black Ice · 08-28-2013, 09:01 PM

That's crazy! I can't see them.

NTex · 08-28-2013, 09:02 PM

TheHammer · 08-28-2013, 09:09 PM

switchback · 08-28-2013, 09:21 PM

Bone Thug · 08-28-2013, 09:21 PM

Had fun helping y'all out. Those blinds are pretty neat!!!!! We enjoyed the visit, Bodey and look forward to seeing what y'all kill out of 'em this season!!

Here's a few pics of Bodey in action and another blind.

They're water tight and a snakes cannot get in these. Bodey built a great blind and put in good windows.

JHB4 · 08-29-2013, 08:46 AM

Nice blinds. You can barely see it in the first set up.

JMAG · 08-29-2013, 09:11 AM

well done, great blinds!

Well color me a fan then. If a snake got in one by any means it would become a high dollar snake aquarium and not a ground blind...

hammer63 · 08-29-2013, 10:08 AM

That is just BAD ARSE!!!

Reynolds4 · 08-29-2013, 10:09 AM

Y'all did it right! Looks good!

DPElite · 08-29-2013, 10:09 AM

looks dang good

CarbonFlinger · 08-29-2013, 10:13 AM

Those look like sweet setups!

Concealed!

Bodey · 08-29-2013, 10:32 AM

We buried them 16 inches into ground then piled the excess dirt around outside. For a snake to get in ,he would have to dig down thru about 24 inches of packed dirt. We really like the dirt floor for quietness and nothing can hide there. Doors and windows are pretty tight but maybe a scorpion could enter.

tfowler10 · 08-29-2013, 10:40 AM

Nice blinds!

BIG BONE · 08-29-2013, 10:53 AM

It vary seldom rains in West Texas so, that won't be an issue. Lol

These blind setups are awesome. There ain't nothing wrong with them.

Saltyag15 · 08-29-2013, 11:28 AM

I'd love to have one of those!! Looks like a cadillac compared to what I typically hunt out of haha

TexasCanesFan · 08-29-2013, 11:39 AM

Those are very nice!!! Great for West Texas.

Bodey · 08-29-2013, 01:26 PM

Siding is waterproof Hardee backer board and all seams are caulked and waterproofed. In an extreme flooding situation the ground could get saturated 16 inches deep and some water could rise from dirt floor within. I would play those odds in West Texas and if if ever did get that wet, I'd just say Hallelujah.

If water gets in just throw some dry ready mix in it. Instant floor.

SIMONS · 08-29-2013, 01:41 PM

that is cool

Hunter Todd · 08-29-2013, 01:43 PM

Ca$ey · 08-29-2013, 07:11 PM

That's awesome I want to build one of these underground blinds bad.

Colton · 08-29-2013, 07:13 PM

I. Want. One.

RafterH · 08-30-2013, 02:14 PM

What is the cost?

How long to erect?

Pretty cool idea. and I agree about the snakes having a hard time getting in.

Jorgeloz02 · 08-30-2013, 02:49 PM

stickerpatch59 · 08-30-2013, 02:51 PM

bowtech72 · 08-31-2013, 02:28 PM

TheoA · 08-31-2013, 03:06 PM

08-31-2013, 03:12 PM

Firecop · 09-01-2013, 05:25 PM
