Geese will be leery of predator's there, it will restrict the hunter's view to that side of the pit, and 180 degrees of the pit will still stick out like the proverbial turd in a punch bowl:
That's a different angle of the blind in the video, and the road's maintained, but it does show the issue I'm speaking to.
The geniuses who built that monument to whackers would still be hunting the spot and tickled with it if, instead of making the blind that much more obvious, they'd scrapped the panels they were no doubt proud of, brushed the pit with a layer of wax myrtle boughs and then made what appeared a grown-up ditch or fence line with clumps of the same running in line with it along the road. Super easy, given the levee road's access and the blind all but disappears.
Same fake old "ditch" or "fence row" is the best way I know to make what would otherwise be more suspicious island blinds in flooded pasture appear much less like what they are.
Yea that’s awful, that’s what the “sky busters” (you’ll see me mention them occasionally from 2014-2016 logs) pit looks like. Ours will be actually in the levee road and flush with the level of said levee road.
