Hard blind design

First, thank you to moderator for approving my membership.
I hunt open water. Wanted to have a boat blind offering comfort of a pit blind.
First year was good but though off season this year i modded the roif using linear bearings to create a roof that slides open. Built in an observation port using a layout blind lid.
Ready to enjoy better concealment and added warmth.

When will images pages be ready?

Also I will extend invites to anyone interested in coming from other states to hunt with me anytime.
 
Scott,
Welcome aboard!

You can add images to any of your posts, just use the attachments tool at the bottom when you create the post.
 
Scott,

Welcome to the forum. Tell us where you are from and what birds you typically hunt. When you say open water, I assume you are hunting divers or sea ducks?

Many of the folks here on the forum have indeed become friends, which then lead to sharing of hunts. I would like to see photos of the blind you designed and built. Most of the guys will just put their photos directly into their post.

If you are in Iowa, you are welcome to swing by for coffee and we can chat about most anything. What are your other hobbies, besides waterfowling?

I enjoy all types of fishing and a bit of wood turning now and then.

We open Oct 16. Idaho does not split season. Ducks and geese all 105 days in a row. I hunt about 90 days a year.

You want to come hunt, lets do it.
 
North Dakota is open for a week already. Idaho must be different flyway. Never hunted there but it would be safe to assume that winter hunting is tough. Welcome to the forum. This is the best source for all things relating to duck hunting gear / boats / blinds ...

North Idaho is unique in that we are on the east edge of the pacific flyway and the mountain passes of the rockies give us spillover from the central flyway. I hunt in the middle of a bay in deep water. Geese and mallards mostly.
I am only 4 years in the sport and really appreciate the learning curve of it all at this part of my life. Learning to decoy, call, train dogs. The benefit of sharing time in the boat with family and friends is the best culmination of it.

On Long Island there are some floating blinds. Mostly on the north shore. They are almost floating cabins. Similar to your rig except they are anchored in place for the season.
