Guerilla Warfare: Lots of Possibilities with Nature Blinds

nature-blinds-450x532

Hero Nature Blinds offer not only the hunter, but also the Guerilla/Partisan a ton of choices in how they could be deployed.

When I first saw them I immediately thought of the “Killer Trees of WW1” and the deadly snipers that inhabited them.

Think outside the box so you don’t get boxed in!
