DIY canoe blind

[Saltmania]

I made this by making a frame out of a piece of garden mesh and then lashing blind material and camo burlap on. I then cut hatches in the blind so two of us plus the dog can hunt in comfort. It's secured to the boat with bungies. Had it out this morning and had buffleheads flying into my spread steady so I'd say it works well. Bright red canoe turned into incognito duck machine! Anyone have good bufflehead recipes? as you can see my hunting partner was keen to supervise the construction lol






And the finished product.

Looks good. I recall seeing an article in a hook and bullet mag. where the fellow had made a camo "blind" for just the front of the canoe. Then him and a buddy would drift and paddle down a small river and the guy in the front would use a 12ga to shoot ducks they got close to and flushed or were flying up the river. Looked like fun.
