How to Build a Permanent Goose Blind
Goose hunting is an exciting sport. Part of the preparation involved is preparing a blind or some type of shelter to hide in while awaiting the arrival of your prey. An appropriate and well-designed goose blind can be made out of old cornstalks, which are especially effective in cornfields or wide-open fields of hay. It is often beneficial to build a permanent blind so that the geese will get used to its location and presence in their natural habitat. Permanent semi-pit blinds are just the answer for wary geese in overhunted areas. Semi-pits can be built by nearly anyone, and the set up is minimal.

Use the wire and pliers to secure bunches of cornstalks to the top and bottom of the piping framing. Make sure to tightly bunch the stalks together to create a completely solid wall on all sides of the blind.

Leave a door opening in the rear portion of the blind, and slide the bench inside. Sit on the bench inside the blind and call as you await the geese. When the geese land, you can then stand up with full range of motion to swing your gun thanks to the short height of the blind.
