Over the past couple of weeks, Bo and I have been busy scouting new properties, running trail cams, filming velvet, hanging stands, building blinds, fighting horrible cases of poison ivy, and everything else it takes to get ready for September 15.  We have a few new properties that we have been given permission to bow hunt this year and I think we'd forgotten just how much work it can be getting a new property ready for the season.  With all of the new properties, our resources are being maxxed out, especially tree stands.  So one thing that we've decided to do more of this year is building "natural" ground blinds.  We needed to cut down a few trees and numerous limbs for a couple stand setups so we simply used that debris to build ourselves a roomy, inconspicuous blind.  We still have a little bit more work to do on them, but they will be ready when season starts.
