 Anyone try a DIY "Gator Hide" blind setup?
Was thinking about ideas to reduce my blind profile and other ideas, particularly for late in the season when the birds are Pretty blind-shy. I've built a couple of the hybrid layout boats, but haven't had a chance to use them yet.
Was also thinking that it wouldn't be hard to do something similar to a gator hide on a regular hull. Not with a welded on top though. Could just make a PVC or conduit frame that would go around the gunwales and have a few cross-members, then a sheet of fast grass or something similar with some openings for hunters. Could sit in low folding chairs and drape shoulders and head in blind material.

This might give you a couple ideas, but you would need to modify the layout. bbsbjon.jpg

Any chance you might have a link? I'm not a member there, but I guess I could join.

 Re: Anyone try a DIY "Gator Hide" blind setup?
I considered building one of these types of blinds for my boat, i think they are a great concept. The reason I decided not to is the amount of water that makes it's way into the boat over the course of a hunt. I swear my dog brings 2 gallons of water into the boat with every retrieve, wouldn't take long before you are laying in water.

 Re: Anyone try a DIY "Gator Hide" blind setup?
So, you have a bilge pump that will mop up the water on the floor of your boat? That's really something. Can you give me a link?

 Re: Anyone try a DIY "Gator Hide" blind setup?
Paleo... dn- yes, I can figure it out, but it would have been nice to hear from someone who has done it before. Remarkably, even though you've built one, you instead decided to offend Paleo by recommending your magic bilge pump to Paleo. Still waiting on that link.

 Re: Anyone try a DIY "Gator Hide" blind setup?
If you have a floor with gutter on each side and a bilge pump, you will be fine. Plus with wearing waders and the back rest you will be leaning up against in a layout style rig, getting wet wont be a problem.

 Re: Anyone try a DIY "Gator Hide" blind setup?
I ain't worried about Paleo. Just calling out dn for suggesting a bilge pump. I don't really give a fuck about the attitude, but if you want to waste your time giving it when nobody jerked your chain asking for it, be my guest, prick. Been duck huntin for over 25 years so getting muddy is about as new to me as cum on your ass. Take your sponge and clean up. I'll just sit in chair, as I said in the first place. By the way, check out the "Official bash docott" thread-created for pricks like you so you don't n1gger up legitimate threads with your useless bullshit. Don't worry-I'm there too, so we can still waste time fucking with each other. How's your Easter? Hope you are enjoying it. It's a nice day to be with family. We usually barbecue in the afternoon and do crawfish at night. Any way, hope you find lots of eggs. I look forward to conversing with you onthe other thread. Your MMT pal, Docott

Hey, dn, can your mom come over a proof-read my posts in person? I'll let her give me a blow job in return.
See what you and your mom can do with that one.

 Re: Anyone try a DIY "Gator Hide" blind setup?
Use the search, "idiot" as y'all like to say, and you'll see that I have offered what little help I can. Also, speaking of crossing a line with family, check out the thread where I was called a "retard". I then shared that my son is mentally challenged, and got zero courtesy whatsoever. Did I whine about that? No, I did not. Also, my above reply is perfectly in keeping with MANY others I've seen. Had his mother not been dead, no one would have said anything about a "line". Again, people crossed the line and then offended ME even AFTER they knew about my son's condition. There's your line. Quit moving it and apply it to everyone and I won't cross it. Until then, I'll tell you what I was told after I shared my son's challenge-get over it, quit being a pussy, if your feelings get hurt that easily you should leave.
How's that for being a whining pussy and defending myself at the same time?

Mothers, sisters, wives, brothers, children, race, sexual orientation, age, height, weight, religion...
All off limits?
Who knew this was such a sensitive, liberal place.

 Re: Anyone try a DIY "Gator Hide" blind setup?
By the way, it was cb who crossed this line y'all are so sensitive about after I mentioned my son's condition. I don't care, but how I am I supposed to know what's of limits? I'm new. Again, I don't care, but cb, correct me if I'm wrong, but we've never met, have we?

My bad, cb. I'm not afraid to admit I'm wrong. Just don't let it happen again, or I'll have to gang-bang your Jewish n1gger wife and daughters, because your sons are obese, midget f*ggots, and your dad is dead so he can't do it for me.

I'm sorry. I honestly meant no offense by any of it. I was rude and inconsiderate. I've made a personal decision not to engage in such comments and discussions from now on. I should have known from my own experience here how hurtful comments can be. I am truly sorry.

That's the only pic I have right now. There are 3 slots on the back, you can see the Al pipe where they are. The blind works as a scissors blind too, and I can close up the ports when I hunt alone.
Makes sense? I can probably get some better pics if you want them.
Been there done that as far as making an ass out of one's self on a forum. I don't post when drunk anymore....... When you do fork up, apologize, take the heat and move on. If someone then holds a grudge., fuck-em.
Good luck

 Re: Anyone try a DIY "Gator Hide" blind setup?
I'm being serious...
Wow. Thank you for being so gracious. It's times like these that I feel ashamed of some things. It takes a big man to do what you just did. Much bigger than me, I'm afraid. Thank you for accepting my apology, and for showing me, all of us really, what kindness is.
Hopefully, we've heard all there is to say about this stuff. I've learned my lesson, and you won't hear it from me.
That looks like a really neat set-up. You mentioned that it could also function as a regular, stand-up blind. I like that. I wouldn't want to lose he capability to do that. You may not know which is best until you get out there. It would suck to not be able to switch on the fly. Do you just have holes to stick your head and arms through? Are they on both sides of the blind? Do you have any support running horizontally?
Thanks-for the picture, and even more for your example.
