| Deer Stand Plans And Deer Blind Plans And Tree Stands |
Finally we have a very nice detailed set of plans for a 2+ person box blind. This is not a quick and easy stand to build, and it won’t be cheap, but the quality and construction is hard to beat.
I don’t know how many of you hunt where it is cold, but the plans I’m working on now don’t have any covering on the windows. Out in west Texas it’s no problem to have open windows all the time. If there is enough demand for it though, I’ll work on adding some plexi-glass coverings to the windows to help block out the wind/cold.
I also made these 4×4 to lay down flat in the bed of a truck. The next deer blind I work on will be 4×8 for those of you who hunt with someone else, or for those of you who like to sleep in your blind (raises hand).
If you are hunting on public land the “pop up” portables might be the way to go. I haven’t been able to find any deer blind plans on how to build a portable deer blind yet. If anyone has some, please leave a comment.
If however you hunt private land consider building a blind. I have two on my property. One is elevated, made from a treated wood playtower that the kids have out grown. After reworking the frame to lighten it up I built a 4.5’x5’ base and its about 5.5’ inside height. This gives me about an 8’elevation when sitting inside. Insulate well with 2” foam all sides, floor and roof. Small-screened vents at the top of each wall helps fresh air to come in but you still stay very warm. I use Plexiglas strips about 2” to 3” wide around all four sides at eye height when sitting. This gives you a continuous panoramic view of your surroundings. Next, I made four shooting windows. These are hinged to pull down and are at a comfortable shooting height. Paint the inside of your deer blind black to hide movement and paint your shooting windows black on the outside so they always look open. Paint the outside with colors and shapes that match your woods.
I even made this blind portable. I welded up an axle hitch combo and bolted it to the towers wood frame. It pulls well with a truck or tractor. I usually move it around once a week during the summer so the resident deer can get used to it in various locations then in the fall I pick out two of three areas I like and move it as needed.
