the goose hunting blindYour goose hunting blind is your most important piece of equipment,well I imagine that a gun will also be necessary ! remember, you have to be very well concealed. The use of camouflage material may be necessary.
If there is enough bush in the field at the separation of lets say a ploughed field and a harvested corn field , you may not have to build a blind. When we say enough bush, we mean like corn that stayed up at least 6 to 8 feet square. If not, build a blind you will have better results. We suggest that you use a portable blind. Click here and see a very portable goose hunting blind models It will be much less trouble than building a few permanent blinds and it will also come much cheaper.You can also build your own blind easily. The blind can be built so has to be very light and easy to carry, we will show you.

It comes in grey colour and is to shiny, so paint it camo preferably or at least yellow or green. These bars usually come in 10 foot lenght. Cut them to desired lenght but no less than 8 foot. If you do not mind carrying 10 foot bars, use those because you will be able to spread the base of your blind further and blend easier with the flat terrain. What you can also do is use 10 foot bars, cut them to 5 feet and use the connecting fittings to join the thin wall EMT bars and tie them together 5 foot lenght will be easier to carry if you have to walk a distance to install your goose hunting blind. Fasten the thin wall EMT bars together with rubber bands, you can use old tire tubes as rubber band or even plastic electrical tape, then cover the frame with camo material that blends with nature, or use bush tied in width of 3 or 4 feet to get the most natural look possible. If you are in a spot that is very flat, make your thin wall frame as flat as possible by speading its base.
