Here is a plan for hot to build a deer blind that someone has been kind enough to submit to us to share it with everyone.

“My family has used box blinds for years. What we do is create the frame of a box using 2×3′s (for weight). They are 3′ wide, 4′ long, and 3′ deep. On the inside and at the bottom of the box, 18” up from the bottom, put in place 2 2×3′s that are the length of the box. These are for plywood seats to rest on. Don’t nail these in place. Because, when you are not using them, you can lean them against one end and this allows you to clean out leaves and snow. Not only that, but you will also have dry seats when you get to the deer blind on a rainy day. We then cover the outside of the box by simply attaching (we use staples) on old carpet with the shaggy part facing in. All you have to do then is just add a little spray-paint and raise it up on a platform that you installed in your fav tree, or on some 4×4′s cemented into the ground. Once you get it on the platform, make sure to put a few lag bolts through the 2 by 3′s into the tree if you are using a tree to raise it on. And there you have it, a sturdy homemade deer blind.”
