It is complete
I did not take a pic but there is a trap between metal fencing and hay.
So you could cover with burlap camo or just plain.

The base is cut like sled runners so with rope tied to base it slides very easy it weight is 139lbs.
Inside floor base is 4x6, can swing Exomax without a problem

Looks good. You need to find some shoot thru mesh in a hay look for the windows. Maybe one of the reed patterns the duck hunters use would work.

I like it.
One of my properties is littered with old hay bales, that thing would fit in there just nice.
I have taken a lot of different animals from behind the bales, being inside one would certainly be more comfortable!
Great work.
