Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Let's see your box blind.

Longhunter1,

I LIKE.

I'm planning at 71YY & with a new YL (who wants to go hunting with me) to build something similar on an old boat trailer chassis that I was given to "get it out of my yard".

yours, tex

longhunter you have the best toys with you flinters ancaplocks 1895s an leaverguns i love your post an pics keep on posten for me please thank you for being a real montianman spelled wrong two menny beers to nite

Yeah, scary stuff.

I'm sure some say I'm a pu**y for wanting to build a blind. The last time I hunted up there it was -30 when we headed out for the day and I thought I was going to die. If I had a blind, I would be able to survive and still get out hunting. Don't get me wrong, I am a pu**y, but I still want to hunt. Do I get any points for that?

Merry Christmas 44 mc

Angus let me know what I got to do to get you to post pics of your gravity box blind.

I'm assuming you're starting with something like this.

Pm me an email and I will send them to you.

I like this one

If you go south out of Rule to FM458 I believe, turn west until the road stops at the unofficial city dump. Go through the fence on a dirt trail called FM451, You will then be on our property and it ends on the Double Fork of the Brazos. We have just a few acres across the river also, but it is small and we are not able to get to it.

That is freakin' awesome!

I still chuckle everytime I read your sig line!

Great hunting area for deer & tons of hogs. We are about 11 miles SW of y'all, as the crow flies, on the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos.
We also have a Ranch about 5 miles east of y'all in Haskell County. That one has been in our family since the 1880's

A bit off topic here, but sometimes the attitudes are tough.

We have/hunt all ways.

Since Carolyn and Tiger often hunt with me and we are supposed to stay in a blind, we have a decent hexagon on 4 foot walls. All 3 have chairs as Tiger likes to watch the deer.

I also hunt with tiger just walk out and sit down against a tree and he will sit with me. I don't care to be out exposed to rain with my gear if I don't have to be. I do it when I have to but if there is a choice its just easier all around.

Then some days I sit in the brush or tripod or ladder with a pistol and Carolyn and Tiger watch from a blind somewhere 100 yards or so away.

Really can't say it bothers me to do it any of the ways. I don't still hunt with Tiger though.

PMed Angus.

Sent photos Merry Christmas!

Hanco's ground blind pic looks like the end of my street, where it deadends into a creek bottom...mixed hardwood and tallll pines make walking thru the woods tough to do in straight line...then add bamboo thickets that 30-40' high that even deer can't walk thru.

You can’t beat a blind with glass windows and a heater!! I might be a sissy, but I’m a warm sissy.

turn that thing over and build some walls under it.

i built and hunted out of this for 10yrs or so on the farm next to me.tires kept going flat on it first few seasons so i drilled holes in them and shot 2 cans of greatstuff foam in them,problem solved.

did a few just for ground blinds to.
