Here are the stands we use at our lease out in Texas. It was designed modularly, so that the main panels could be assembled beforehand and fit in the bed of a pickup.

Total cost for materials is about $140. Total time to assemble the stand is about 2-3 hours. It’s common for similar stands to sell completed for $500+. This stand has the convenience of being able to be built in a confined space like a garage. It can easily be transported in the bed of a pickup, and can be assembled on-site in about 15 minutes with just a power drill, some screws, and a ladder.

The plans are in an easy-to-read .pdf format which is available for immediate download to read on your computer or print them out and take them with you. You’ll get a full materials list, detailed schematics, and step-by-step instructions with pictures to help you along the way.

Here is an example of what the plans look like.

And here is a shot of what the finished deer stand looks like (note: This stand doesn’t have a roof or paint yet. We threw this one up in our garage just to take the pictures. Updated pictures of finished stands will be coming soon.)

Each step along the way is documented with detailed instructions and pictures, as seen below.

Along with the plans, you will get my personal cell phone number if you happen to have any questions along the way.

You’ll also get free updates to the plans. Future updates include folding plexi-glass windows, carpetting, a table along the window for a sandbag to rest your gun on, sloped roof, and more.

And of course, you’ll get a full year – 360 day – money back guarantee. This way you’ll have plenty of time to build the stand and spend an entire season trying it out. If you don’t like it, just send me an e-mail saying you’d like a refund and you’ll get it, no questions asked. You won’t even be out shipping and handling since the plans are entirely downloadable.

I’d like to give these plans away for free, but considerable time and effort went into making these plans as user-friendly as possible. We have already made all the trial and error mistakes for you. You’ll save so much time and money with these plans that they are well worth it the $8.97 price tag.

I just wanted to mention another site that just popped up relating to how to build a deer stand.

There isn’t many deer stand plans on it yet, but they should be showing up sometime soon.

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).

Just wanted to give everyone an update, I’m working on some new deer stand plans at the moment. We should have the blind built this weekend, and I’ll try to compile everything into an easy to read ebook as a simple step-by-step guide complete with pictures every step of the way.

The idea behind this deer blind is that it can be built modularly so all the pieces will lay down flat in the bed of a truck and can be transported and screwed together on-site. So far things are looking pretty good. I was a little bit worried about the weight of the door (we are using a full 5′ high 3′ wide door) putting too much stress on the hinges, but with some 2×2 bracing, it holds fine without any sagging.

This is definitely going to be hunting in style.

It is hard to find some good step by step deer stand plans anywhere on the internet. Right now, I’m working on putting together a new deer stand for our lease out in Texas. I’m going to document the entire deer stand building process with pictures/video/instructions and I should have it finished and put together in an easy to use downloadable format in a couple days, so stay tuned for when that gets finished.

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.
