Hunting blind for an ice shelter

[Settle&release]

Does anybody use a hunting blind for an ice fishing hut?

Yes, but it did not work so good.

Screen windows and no skirt hamper keeping warm , but better than nothing.

I did for quite a while before I got an ice tent. mine had the ability to zip the windows closed, and I just piled snow around the bottom to seal it. Not as good as a purpose built ice tent, but much better than just standing on the ice and let me see down the hole fairly well.

I duct taped my windows shut, then piled snow around bottom. If it was deeper snow, I even went as far as cutting an outline in the snow then dropped the tent inside so it was below snow surface line. Worked well.

Exactly,plus you can use it for hunting therefore getting more bang for your buck!

Awesome. That's what I was thinking about the hunting 2 for 1 deal haha

Yep, that's what I use. 2 for 1! I find it works great with snow piled up around the edges. I'd rather spend the money on other toys than buy a dedicated ice tent that I can't shoot deer out of during hunting season. :)

I used a one man pop up blind. Worked great. The one I had closed up real good, black inside and had the built in chair.
