When building our ground blind, my wife and son joined in, all doing our part to make it an enjoyable project. I love spending time with my family in the outdoors. The same goes when using pallets to make a blind the satisfaction from constructing something out of nothing is gratifying. Yes, factory-made tree stands looked better than our stands, and they may have even cost less, yet the feeling of pride we had while making them was priceless.
For a few more bucks you can use camo fabric or age the wood with paint or stain, but you’ll want to do so with plenty of time to let the odor work itself out.Īs a kid, I remember spending hours with my father in his shop building tree stands for himself, friends, and family. The recent blind I constructed in the area where I could not use a pop-up style blind or tree stand cost $6.00 and completely solved my how-to-hunt dilemma. However, they can be pricey, costing hunters over a hundred dollars for a decent-made blind. I love them they are practical and have benefits that trump other methods in certain hunting situations. I use factory-made ground blinds each year while turkey and deer hunting. They usually give the pallets away at low or no cost if you ask nicely. Wooden pallets are relatively available from many businesses that receive large amounts of freight or products. One of the reasons for the recent popularity of the many wooden pallet projects found on the web is the low cost of getting started. The pallets can render many advantages for the hunter looking to make something themselves to increase their chances of getting close to a big buck this fall. To my surprise, I wasn’t the only one who had thought of constructing a homemade blind. Knowing how often they are sought after, I searched the web for ideas for building hunting blinds from old wooden pallets. It is almost a daily occurrence that someone will drive by and see the pallets, stop, and ask for a few to use in projects they have viewed on popular do-it-yourself websites. While passing by the pallets, I had an idea how I could use the pallets to construct a homemade ground blind in the location mentioned above. While at work, I walk by a large stack of used wooden pallets several times a day. There was a large amount of deer activity in a location that did not have any large trees suitable for a tree stand, and I could not place a ground blind due to the landowner's cattle that could easily travel through and possibly damage the blind. I found myself envisioning how I could hunt a specific area on my hunting property.
I recently experienced one of those drifting mind moments while at work. Contemplations on creating food plots, hanging tree stands, game camera placement, and where we will be sitting on the opening morning are plentiful. As hunting season nears, typically, those thoughts consume even more of our day. Throughout the day, it is common for our minds to drift away to moments spent outdoors instead of focusing on the work at hand. Often, as hunters, we spend our days working hard to make a living for our families.
