Is there

Any way to hide and hunt from a sand bar? The bank is back to far to hide from and the sand bar the geese are using has nothing but sand on it.

old market hunters use to dig into the sand and just put sticks around the dug out spot.
Low spot and a layout?

dig a hole and drop in a layout

Sand is pretty much frozen

Could always wear clothes that best match the sand color and hide amidst some magnum shells

Uh yeah, I meant to hit quote, not thanks. Was it not like 60 degrees today?

It's still 50° now, but I'm not sure I'll be able to dig down tomorrow either.

Field khaki layout blind? If you don't have one you could also use burlap to cover it or even paint if you want to go that far.

If you don't have the field khaki layout I would probably just gather driftwood and whatever else is around there naturally and build a make shift blind. If the birds are using that spot right now it will be even easier with a natural blind.

This very scenario is why I still have all my FK blinds

Granite this is early season but there is just about always logs sticking up on sandbars. Look like a log or tuck into one. YOU CAN DO IT!

Power hunter, sand stone spray paint....

Been having the same problem. This afternoon I broke the Put Hut back out. http://www.puthutduckblinds.com/ It worked great. looks like a muskrat hut. They're not that expensive.
