I have a 2 man hide and you can see most of the discussion in the thread "hides". Very small and cramped, not really designed for long periods and not waterproof, but good to see out the back of and the side windows have mesh which opens up to take photos out of also, but also use it along with clearview netting, which is great stuff.
Wildlife photography from what I have found if very rewarding and VERY frustrating.
I/we sit in hides for hours, days and weeks on end seeing nothing:shrug: then the shot you have been waiting for comes along.
I am very fortunate in having over 700 acres of land in which to choose my hide positions and I have use of static hides, portable hides and a semi permanent hide, and am looking into the wooden hide next.
I can be found on the edge of a field while other half is ploughing, combining or whatever he is doing and taking pot luck at what is around, but also found lurking in a hide somewhere, at some stupid o'clock waiting for the odd fox, deer, buzzard,(soon
) kite, and equally have pleasure n taking photos of what is ever around at the time.
Patience, patience, patience is what is needed and I have found it is great to walk around to get the odd snap but I find it is better to wait for the subject to come to you.
Just got to be in the right place at the right time and one day the time will be right
