This post is a followup of last month's canvas build for my current pond boxes. Yesterday was their maiden voyage this season. First photo is what they look like "naked". The others are on a salt marsh, you can see the spartina patens is especially short in this location. We backed up to a lone small clump of phragmites for a silhouette break. The canvas is covered with various salt marsh grass, the remainder of the boxes are covered with wrack gathered within a few feet of the setup. My buddy is in one of them, the ducks have no clue you're around. Gunner doesn't like to get in the mutt hut, but his color is just about perfect for a marsh and he sits dead still until he sees a splash or is sent. The ducks don't seem to mind him at all. It was slow yesterday, but we'll be back at it tomorrow. And yeah, I left the gun on the box while we got set up and posed for photos, so it's not pointed in a safe direction. Fortunately it was just taken out of the case, not yet loaded and the bolt's still open. Cringe worthy in a photo. No matter how old and experienced you are it's easy to forget.
