Giant Hood

[ohiort]

Trapping season here in Ohio is right around the bend; Aug.1. Sooo I need to make a giant hood (definetely not buy one, i'm so broke from this sport and i havent even started ).......Anyone have any good plans for making a cheaper, light weight giant hood? Yet, it would still be durable. I saw a picture of one made with a garbage can upside down, but looking for something maybe a little different.

I made mine out of choroplast and 2x2's. Probably weighs 7 or 8 lbs, tops.

As for measurements, mine is 24" long, 24" tall, and 12" wide. I have the perch, which is attached to the frame, inside about 8" back from the door.

Then, the whole exterior is covered in choroplast which you can get down at your local sign/design shop (at least, that's where I got mine.)

The whole thing cost me about $35-45 because I got a little fancier here and there. I could have built it for $25, easy.

I finally found the old giant hood thread.
