Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Hard sided permanent hunting blind

You mind sharing the info on these guys? My dad hunts in desoto parish and needs a new one next year.

Sure thing. Tiger Bend outdoors in Marion, LA. (Union Parish)

They have a FB page that shows a trailer loaded with their box stands. Good people.

Thanks! I’ll check them out.

I’d recommend a shadow hunter blind. We have several and they are comfortable and quiet to hunt from. I add 3/4” rubber stall mats cut to fit for when my five year old son is bouncing around it helps with the noise. Also have great results with blind turtle blinds. They are lightweight and easy to move as needed.

Are the actual windows included with the shadow blind, $600 is a good price.

On our place we have wooden homemade blinds as well as commercial models from Sportsman Condo, Muddy and Terrain. The Terrain Edge was the cheapest of the three but would not recommend as it's flimsy and the door rattles in the wind. The Muddy was the most expensive and the most disappointing as it leaks around the windows and down the inside of the walls. The walls after being up a year have bowed in and have swelled in places. I wouldn't recommend this brand to anyone. The Sportsman Condos have been the absolute best of the bunch in terms of price and construction. It was a 1 piece molded shell and is thick plastic. It comes with the base to slide your 4x4s into to get it off the ground. I think we gave around $1100 at the time for the Sportsman Condo SC-3. The Muddy Striker was around $2k with 15' platform and the Terrain Edge was around $300.

With any of the blinds, I highly recommend checking window height before purchasing. Some have the windows too high for sitting/aiming.

I’ve hunted out of Ranch King, Maverick, Shadow Hunter and Redneck. We ended up picking up a number of Rednecks. They’ve been great and CS is good.

Lots of great info here, thank you!

I might build someone a metal base for a 300 bucks if they buy the material. They would have to come pick it up, Dave ain’t delivering. I’ll be looking for things to do after Friday.

LOL! Hanco, I've been retired for almost 4 years now. I honestly don't know how I used to have time to go to work! Hahaha!

We have elevated wooden decks on our property that we put pop up hub blinds on during the season and pull them in the off season.
I will never use a permanent shooting house again.

No mouse pizz or mice
No dirt dobbers
No waspers or hornets
Nothing all chewed up beyond recognition

IF I want to shoot deer from out of a house and pretend I'm hunting, I'll do it where my wife can serve lunch and bring me a beer.

There's always one, at least this time it's not me.

I think I’m gonna be that way too

Antler shed blinds , all metal construction with a sloped roof In which you can fully stand up in. There’s a rifle rest shelf that’s above the windows which is an awesome feature.

You've sure got a lot of opinions – we're so blessed.

The older you get, the less you want to sit on a rock and freeze your ass off. When I was young, it didn’t bother me, does now.
