Title: golfers / turkey blind hunters
Post by: 2eagles on April 03, 2015, 03:38:09 PM
For you blind hunters that pack in a long ways. I bought a used golf bag cart to carry in my blind and other equipment. I go in a mile or more on Iowa public ground and it's a chore going in, but better and heavier coming out with a gobbler. I had this idea and I think it's going to work! The blind fits great and more stuff can be strapped on to lighten the load on my back. If I carry my jake on top like that, I WILL cover it with a hunter ORANGE cloth.

Back when we had to use a car battery and spot light for hunting fox at night, I knew a fella that constructed a similar apparatus out of old bike tires for lugging the battery and light.

Your idea is slick and already built.  I like that!

I do the same thing, but use a deer cart instead of the golf cart.

Exactly.  That's what I do during deer season.

Thanks for the idea. I've got a deer cart that I can put to a two-season use. While I don't hunt from a blind, I do have a nylon sack full of decoys and a ground lounge chair that's suitable for hunting or catching a little sleep during the mid-morning lull.

Funny thing is, sometimes I grab my gun, a couple shells and a mouth call. Other times I take my vest full of stuff, a blind, three decoys, enough food for breakfast and lunch and I've even taken a book to read. Sometimes the bottoms I hunt in require chest waders. I take what I think I need for a good hunt, nothing less.

Now drill two holes in the cart handle and attach a weight belt so that it just straps to your hips and roll on, no idea the miles I have covered pulling a cart similar.

Man... Great idea. You could even strap a bow or gun to that blind. I usually just go with a vest and gun. I ditched all my other gear. I've really wanted to up the ante and take a bird with a bow. This might be the ticket... :z-winnersmiley:
