Shaggy Blind is now in Florida

bamawaterfowler · 08-05-2007, 12:21 PM

It took me and my father about 5 hours to build, but we finally finished. it is much "greener" than the fastgrass -- and it opens the boat WAY WAY up...

here are some pics...

we then put the pannels on -- and grassed it up a bit. put much more green on the blind. it looks great and will look good on lake okeechobee this year. i am thinking of going to michaels and buy 3 or 4 big trees ... one to put on the nose to break up the outline -- and put the others behind the boat when we hunt...

it should look great! i hope the ducks like it as much as i do...

Looking good. I like the added grass for both color and depth.

Man, that looks good and is going to be an insanely deadly hide. I have sold the Quickflip and my buddy picked up my snow shaggy last week at MB in Utah. We still have two boats with Quickflips in our crew, so mine is going to be the snow hide.

I just had a great idea when seeing the grassing you did to your shaggy. I might play with a little grassing on the snow shaggy, to simulate vegetation poking up through the snow.

This is going to be a fun and productive season with the snow shaggy. Now watch it not snow this year.

Super job!

You will have no problems killing ducks from that!

Man, that camo job takes me WAY back!

Looks great! Did you make the frame or is it a kit? Does it lay down inside the gunnels?

Ronbow · 09-19-2009, 05:31 AM

What did you tie on the outside.

bamawaterfowler · 03-04-2010, 02:27 AM

It will always shedd off, which is normal.
Ducks will pass 10 feet from your location to a deadly trap w/o expecting you there.
Now we know whom to look for @ Lake Okee.
We also bought some veggies @ Michaels too to disguise the openings.
You guys have done a great job.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
