Looking for some ideas on putting some extra vegitation on my layouts. I already have the brown raffia grass and plenty of light colored grass to camo them up nicely, however the field we are hunting is green pasture. So any ideas on where I can get some long green grass to blend in to the pasture better. All the tall grass is now brown as it is winter. So any ideas would be great as the layouts stand out in the green grass. Thanks for any ideas.

I don't know if you're looking to go out and buy something, but you can buy some of the light green colored raffia grass in kits made for the layout. That's probably what I would consider doing if I needed to try to blend in with fresh, green grass. You could also get some dye and dye up some bags of raffia to match the green you're looking at hunting.

Just some ideas to throw out at you. :beer:

I would just cut a bunch of tall grass from somewhere on the side of the road so you have a bunch, I have done it before with cat tails and other vegetation for blinds before.

You can purchase the killer weed kits at Wholesale Sports. They have it in the grass color. If it is to light go to Michales and pick up the grass and you can get dye. Mix the dye and do a few strands until you get the color you desire then dye the bunch and you are good to go.

That green killer weed, dont blend in the same its a diffrent color then normal green grass. We have used military netting before but we also sat in the shad under some 100+ foot firs

I wonder if it would work if we used the burlap to cover them up...

The stuff we purchased wasn't the same color as our grass, so I ended up dying the batch, once I got the color to match. It's less expensive to buy it at the craft stores in the tan color then dye it the green color needed. That worked really good once I finally came up with a match.

So right after Christmas, go over to the local big box hardware store and buy up all thier clearance artificial garland...it is pretty sweet looking. I just zip tied it on. Good luck.

That is exactly what I did I bought all the left over garland from Wally world for $1.00 each in 9ft sections and put it on my blind. I then used some Krylon camo brown and green to knock the shine down and make it not so bright.
