About Blinds. 



(For shore, wear, or boat uses.) 



In these days it is unneces- 

 sary to go into details as to the 

 methods of constructing blinds, 

 stands, etc., for the reason that 

 the sportsman or duck hunter 

 can obtain them at slight cost, 

 put up in portable form for 

 either wear, boat or shore, as 

 occasion requires, as a glance 

 at the page of illustrations 

 (which accompanies this article) 

 shows; Grass Hunting Suits be- 

 ing now extremely popular for 

 wild Goose, Duck, or all kinds of water fowl 

 shooting. These are made ready for immediate 

 use, of dry, long, tough marsh grass, into suits

 blinds or bough houses, so necessary before these 

 were introduced. They fit practically any person, 

 really converting them into a semi-natural groivth

 are desired, they are made in standard lengths and 

 rolls of 6x3 feer, by which a shore blind can be 

 made of any length, size or shape desired, giving 

 ample room for a seat, and supplied even with 

 "stocks" or supports, to be fastened and 

 set up anywhere. Usually two of these 

 lengths construct an admirable, roomy 

 sized "shore blind." On the other 

 hand if a "Grass boat blind" is desired 

 they are made in lengths of 5 ft. 10 in. 

 by 27 inches, made to resem- 

 ble wild rice, rushes, marsh 

 grass, etc.; rolling compactly 

 in a small roll, each piece be-
