And we make fun of Texans!



Apologies if this if this is a duplicate post...

Laughing to hard to reply!

Trying to figure out what the problem is? Looks like it has good fields of fire from 360 degrees. What part of the state is it located in? Surprised I haven't seen it in my travels and for sure would not have forgotten seeing it.

Here is the sum total of what I know about it:

A hunter in Wisconsin created a deer blind that can fit an entire family tree in it.

Jesse Kauffman, from Springbook, situated a standard yellow school bus a top a fuel barrel. Though the bright hue of the bus makes it stick out in the foliage instead of serving as a disguise, it looks like the making of an epic hunting experience.

Kauffman shared the photo of his creation with mySA.com, but it had previously gained Facebook notoriety on the Chasing Trophy Whitetails Facebook page where it was shared to more than 2 million people on Sunday.

Family members of the hunting genius said he built a dirt ramp to get the 66-passenger bus on top of the barrel, 28 feet from the ground.

"I have a fold out couch, two recliners, a TV, a poker table and deer seasons are cold enough, I don't need a fridge," Kauffman replied to the comments under the post. "But we got heat, I seriously run power from my dad's house."

Kauffman also attached a staircase for access into the contraption.

Social media can't get enough of the idea, 21,000 people have shared the post and another 18,000 have liked it.
A friend of Kauffman's said "it was awesome hunting in it last season."

That's interesting

I woulda thought the bus to be......shorter

Does it have a cheese curd dispenser?

Ah, a REAL HUNTER.

But does it have a hot tub?

Gets power from his dad's house.

He must be way out in the wilderness.

I do believe that sits on Roundoaks property.

Pabst is made in WI too. Might explain things.

all you michigays would be lining up to hunt outta that a put down a big sconnie* buck :-D

why does the entrance go through the engine blo... nvmd.

If a deer does show up, they are going to have to correct for elevation and ugliness.

Wasn't SH a bus driver for a spell, he would like this.

SH doesn't like stand hunting. Well, except maybe for skunks.

dump 5 dumptruck loads of corn around it then you'll be hunting like most in texas

The ophthalmologist I worked for built a big stand on his property up my Bay Lake in Minnesota. You could have lived in the danged thing. By the time he was done, it was three stories tall. Stairsteps to the first level, and then internal steps all the way up. Solar panels to start, but he decided that just didn't make enough juice, so he just hard wired the whole thing. Baseboard heat, an inside biffy, windows on ball bearing rollers so they'd open quietly. Cooking area with a propane stove, coffee maker, and even an oven. Of course, he had a bed in there. What tree stand was complete without a bed, and a computer, and a stereo system? He even put in a gravel driveway out to the stand so that when the piza guy came he could drive right out to the stand. Not exactly roughing it!

Wouldn't surprise me to hear our DNR write 'em up for shooting out of a motor vehicle.....
