Through Sunday (7/27-7/29), Menards is advertising 4'x8' roll up Reed Fence panels for $9.47...with a $9.47 rebate! There is no limit on how many you can buy, and they end up being FREE (except for sales tax you may have paid).
I thought they looked like they could be useful for a homemade bale blind, or just cheap, quick cover.
This may or may not be of value to you, but I thought it was worth mentioning...

Something to keep in mind, at least where I am Menards rebates come back as store credit.
It sounds like it may be a great base upon which to build an effective blind. The price sure sounds good. I have been using camo burlap as the starting point for blinds, and it sounds like these mats would work just as well.
