This one is going on east Texas lease in Weirgate. This one is short, platform is only 5 feet. I will be easy to put up compared to 15’ SOB we put up last Saturday. I can put this up myself, made out of scrap. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/wBzZwPtZ/IMG-9712.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/SsSsbDPt/IMG-9725.jpg)

That's really a nice height for a box blind.Much better than being on the ground.Puts your eye level about 9ft.

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............

The feeder is about 25’ below stand. I had the same stand in the same location on an eight foot platform a couple of years ago. Son in law has the 8’ base in Lampasses ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/PqDkPZgz/IMG-9482.jpg)

Nice hanco!
I have a 6' tall platform out in a meadow on my 40, platform is 6'x6'. Was hoping to get a blind on it, but will use a Primos Double Bull on it this year.

Always worried about what might be under a stand on ground. ] The biggest cottonmouth I ever saw slithered out from under a stand on 10” legs when I stepped in. Fat as my forearm and a head like my fist.
Now with even more aplomb
