Pit blinds are The way to go... All our main blinds on the big ponds that are hunted a lot are pits. The pot holes have the barrels.

DD, is that the boat hide behind the pit blind?

Next season I'm building half boat hide /blind, did better this year out the go-devil powered canoe than the blinds...gonna stick with this since I'm on private land....going straight to the ducks from now on...and for boat hide I mean roseaus piled and angled just right...tore the pintails up on the last few hunts like this after killing zero pintails the years before.

Can you post a picture of a half boat hide/blind? I hunted out of one of those once. Can't remember exactly how it was made though. Thanks

You can go to Waste Management or one of the other companies and they have stacks of cans they don't use anymore. Even comes with lids sometimes! They usually don't charge a dime for them.

Cannot find the construction pictures. They are easy to build and easier to set up in the marsh.

Hated to hear that about your blind Chris... but it was time to try something new anyways.

yeah dude that was something to pull up on the last day of the season and find out that someone set the marsh on fire south of you and it got out of control and burned your platform blind down to the ground that you've been hunting for 10 years.

Chris we use 2 of these pit blinds just south of you. Been having them for over 20 years. A few dollars up front but then you finished with it. Survived both hurricanes with no damage; we lost every other blind we had out there40736976_scaled_336x367.jpg.

Rapides Fiberglass; they'll deliver to ya if you order 2 or more. Great 3 man set up. I do find this blind to be too open over the top. Run separators between hunters and hog wire around blind to angle cane or grass to hide edges. Like using 2x6s to drive on outside to set blind...better than 2x4s.

Got one just like that one G&H in Gueydan about 10 years ago. Still use it on my lease in PI.

We hunt out of an AL floating pit blind. It has ballast tanks all the way around it to add stability. It kind of sticks out a little, so you have to do a good brush job. Other then that, we kill ducks out of it.

But the past 2 years i've been fighting that cane so now i'm gonna poison it when it starts growing back. and move the blind and do away with a platform and put something with a lower profile so i can brush with salt grass.

Chris, I wondered how you faired w/ that burn on Sat. Sorry to hear you lost your blind. Exactly what will you use to kill the cane; I'm having the same issues. Want to get ride of most cane around some ponds. Thanks for any info. I do have an electric spray tank (12v) that I can put in our mudboat. What do I need as for chemicals?
