Carl:
I just wanted to send you some photos
of the duck blind covers you sold me in use at our blind
in Butte City. Our hunting improved dramatically after
installing the covers. By the end of the season I lowered
the stakes to slightly decrease the viewing window but
otherwise left them alone. Our blind and check are higher
than our pond. The sides of the check are steep and
although it appears to make our covers stand out, the
results proved otherwise. Also, the extra length at the
ends worked out just as I had hoped they would as cover
for our dogs. The dogs quickly learned to stay down and
peek out from the viewing window. If they did choose to
sit, only their heads appeared above the blind covers.
Your product certainly appears to be
well constructed. We hope to get many years of service
from them. Once again, thank you for the extra effort at
getting the blinds to me over the holidays.

We all know how well
Gibson's Duck Blind Covers work at the duck blind. What you
may not have known is how sturdy and durable they are. The
following story is true and the names are not changed, please
feel free to call and verify this report.
Ken Johnson, and myself
volunteered to pickup the decoys at one of the Valley
Waterfowl's leased blinds after the season closed. On the
morning of February 7, 2009 we drove separate vehicles to the
duck club, fearing that one of us might get stuck in the Los
Banos, California slim mud, it had rained the night before. As
I pulled onto the levy road that separates a large canal and a
smaller, but very deep irrigation ditch, I had to put my brand
new Chevy Avalanche in 4-wheel drive. Only traveling at about
2 miles per hour, going was very difficult, the mud stuck to
the tires to the point there was zero traction. it wasn't a
problem until the levy road began to tilt slightly toward the
irrigation ditch, at which point my truck began sliding
precariously close to the ditch. Progress stopped immediately
for fear that my truck would end up in the ditch. At that
point the rear end of the truck was only about 2 feet from
sliding into the ditch. After retrieving all the decoys
and loading them into the truck, our attention was again fixed
on our major problem, being stuck. I told Ken, if we could
find some plywood I thought we might be able to put the pieces
under the tires and maybe drive forward. Looking around it was
obvious that wasn't going to happen. Ken then had this bright
idea, let's put the Gibson blind covers under the tires and
hope for the best. After much concern for the blind covers, I
concluded we had no choice at that point. I figured I would
explain to the committee why the blind covers were trashed
some other time. Thirty minutes later we had completely
extricated ourselves from the mud by putting the covers under
all four tires, and driving over the covers two feet at a
time, several times. The covers were very muddy and the
extension rods were slightly bent but still usable. The next
day I straightened the rods and pressure washed the blinds to
get all of the mud removed. Believe it or not the blinds
looked great. Nobody would have ever known, but we let the
story out accidentally.
Carl your blind covers will
do everything that they are supposed to do and so much more.
You have a lifetime client!
