Building a Blind

What does a city girl know about building a hunting blind? Nothing really. On my first couple of trips up North with Jerome I would see the structures out in fields and thought, "how bizzare to have an outhouse way out in a field, but maybe that's how they do things here in the midwest". I was quickly corrected when I spent part of one trip huddled up in such an "outhouse" waiting to see some game. These structures were Hunting Blinds. Men and women spend days in these enclosed spaces waiting for the Big Buck to arrive. Jerome and I thankfully spent our time in one that doesn't leave the ground. His own personal blind is contructed up in the air. Logen, Jerome, Andrew and his brother Gene have helped to construct this new blind of his. Andrew and Jerome spent this past weekend putting a roof on it and shingling it. My poor Andrew is afraid of heights but mastered his fear for the day to join Jerome about 3 stories up. They say the view is spectacular, say a couple of deer that day and heard some cayotes. I tried to climb to see what the fuss was about, but Andrew's fear of heights he inherited from me and I promptly got stuck on the ladder leading up. Jerome says he will secure the structure and put on better stairs/ ladder leading up and assures me that I will be able to join him up in the high rise this fall/winter.
