Built this short thing for grandson. My others are too tall to get him safely in. Scrapped it out except angle iron, so I have a 100 bucks in this. The small pipe was my old pigeon coup at one time. I usually make these 15 feet. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/J0Gz084P/74076-AD4-295-B-423-E-9070-299-D37370897.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/mgp54G1m/99-EDD850-0-E88-4-E4-C-8-CFD-744995-CF4945.jpg) Gonna put this stand on it ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/rwgNXG3c/9-FCE9933-6532-474-C-8-AF3-FEAC99-B12768.jpg) Stand is already up there, deer cross at the end of cleared area. He is shooting a 223 single shot pretty well, might get him a pig or a doe shot. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/637Q5wQz/8208-C9-BB-4-F80-4-EBE-B3-B4-A72000-B88183.jpg)

I'd be happy to hunt out of one like it. Build one for me?

the creed of ignorance,
and the gospel of envy,
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

About right for me too. I don’t bounce so good anymore.
As long as it lets him see above the cover a bit……..
Never hunted from a box. Not sure I’d like it. Nice work though.

I’m taking it up to the lease this next week. I don’t think I’ll get it put up, but I’ll post pics when I do. This platform is 8’ high, built a couple of years ago. I sold it and the stand. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/TwxYYR7D/B32-EDE70-356-F-44-C5-89-A9-CA30-C842-E837.jpg)
