A real step up on the waterfowl blinds. In the old days we simply dyed burlap feed sacks to make a blanket and to lay on we coated burlap bags with paraffin an attempt to keep dry..... then used sheets in the snow. We even came up with the idea to dye snow blue in an attempt to make the waterfowl think there was open water.....when the lakes were frozen....

 

When I was hunting in Southern MD out of my Barnegat Bay sneak box we used to go out on the marsh with a sickle and cut cord grass and tie bunches of it together at the cut end. We would cut and tie a lot of those bunches of grass. We we went hunting we would get to where we wanted to go and run the bow up onto the shore and lay the bunches of cord grass all over the deck and cover it and throw on a cammo motor cover.. Our boats looked like muskrat houses. The grass would last most of the season.

 

We once made a wooden stand platform blind in a lake when the water was low. We made the platform high enough so at normal water level we could pull our john boat under the platform to hide away. We placed burlap and corn stalks around the perimeter to break up the outline. It worked very well for mallards and a few wood ducks.....The bigger flocks of geese would tend stay with the bigger part of the lake; however, occasionally they would make our day by flying over our blind to the nearby corn fields.......One has to get creative as a waterfowl hunter...

 

We grow ornamental grass around the house . Come duck season I cut what I want, zip tie the ends. My spray dodger has slots to slip in the grass and I fan out the ends. It covers me well enough
