Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire That deer blind start to finish pics

So renegade50 was turkey hunting last year and took a picture waaaaaay a field, actually over the state line from Fort Campbell and sent me the pic in a text.

I thought well chit I like it, I can build one too. Always hunted with climbers, ladder blinds, improvised boards nailed to trees. Moved up to 360 Tripods from Academy last few years too. See a lot of ideas from other guys in other states, decided to hold solid to getting it done.

Started right after Labor Day putting mock ups together on the shop floor. Really from Sept 8 till about October 20. Tried to do most of it without bothering family or friends. Had to get Renegade50 to help with handling the big pilings and concrete, dude was super helpful getting the metal skin on. Drill powered metal shears are sweet too.





Site prep,

First I sprayed 25 gallons of Roundup, 2-4,D and also 25 gallons of Malathion. And let it marinate for a few days
Then scraped everything off. Might be able to see remnants of a ground blind we hunted out for a couple seasons too









Floor framing 2x8, 2x6, screwed together and unscrewed and hauled out to the site

Pics might be repeated or slightly out of chronological order

FFS, get your chit together!

No chit!

Lol

With my format sizing, It seems Rick Bin settings allow 7 pics per page

Still framing the bones










Started the metal roofing/siding. Main man Red50 fearless warrior 🤙 climbed all over that thing like a spider. lol






Post site cleanup





Plexiglass windows




Dado rip grooves for plexi in some ripped 2x4s

Very cool. Hunting in style.
Hope you made the door wide enough to get the Lazy boy in.

2x12 window ledges

Wasn’t fully satisfied with that so decided to expand the benching inside another 2x12

Great stand, a lot of work, you will be proud every time you set in it, put A frame roof and will last forever, I’m setting in one that life time buddy and I built here on ranch, think about it every time I hunt this one.

Oh, I see you went metal, that’s the best.👍

Sweet shootin hooch!

I could see me fast asleep in that with a little rain falling.....

Nice looking blind. How are you going to keep illegals from squatting in it during the off season?

They gotta wade that creek and avoid those Copperheaded Moccasins and Penis Turtles

That’s pretty impressive slummy. Let er’ rain. The weather won’t keep you at home, lol.
Hope you have many years of enjoyment in it.

Way mo betta than this thing, I think it was constructed from decommissioned porta potty chit houses.

That looks extremely well built, nice.

The feesh camp manor 😂 looks good 👍👍

This was the same site last fall, small improvised ground blind. Patterns of movement had shifted due to some new homes being constructed about 3/4 mile away. The pattern has held hence the decision to put a more permanent all-weather hut

Badass 🤘🏻
