Dan from Ultra Deer Towers just emailed me, my stand is ready. Mine is 11 feet tall and 8 feet in diameter, with four color camo, half sleep deck, camo deerview windows all around and carpeted floors and shelves. Has blue flame propane heater. I'll rig a solar system so I'll have a fully charged deep cycle battery or two for power. It's a heck of an improvement over my 4x4 box blind.

I ordered it in late December. It'll be there acting as demo for awhile, until my schedule settles down. If you're interested in touring my new blind, please observe the tip jar.

Scooter, I may need to borrow that little trailer, and your help loading and tying it down...

I'm also gonna have a couple 20 pound jugs of propane, so I can have coffee. I'm also thinking LED strips under the shelves. I'll swing by there (Arlington) and get pics.

Hey don't hate me cause my blind is beautiful. I wanted two man blind, crunched the numbers. Did the logistics and this one piece maintenance free blind was the easiest and cheapest.

And no I'm not a rich guy. I have been building my hunting fund for years, many years. This was planned, saved for, and done, baby!

Well, Dan hasn't send pics yet, and the rain shut them down today, I imagine. I'll get over there one day soon and post pics.

Deerview camo windows all around. Carpeted shelf all around. The plywood above is the sleeping deck, also carpeted.

Looks great! For lighting you can try these led strips off amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00HSF66JO...&ref=plSrch

They run off of 12 volts, but I used them for backlighting on a sign in an optometrist office using an a/c converter they also sell on amazon. You could Hook em to a 12 volt feeder battery and mount a solar panel outside and be good to go.

WOW, very kewl. They have one at the feed store in Goliad (think it may be a taller version tho), but every time we stop there, I start drooling. Congrats, glad someone got one! Only modification I would have to consider is that 'storage' area below, too many 'critters' might think that's a perfect new home too. Got to be a way to seal off that space?

Thanks, now I'm worrying about that too...

Well, the door is sealed and will never warp, and the bottom edge is straight and level, so if site prep is well done, it should sit flat on the earth, or even dig in a bit. That area will mainly hold my propane bottles and batteries, maybe a case of water. The floor panel fits tight, so it looks to be wasp proof.

If I open that door and hear rattling, that solid fiberglass blind will no longer be maintenance free!

Yeah, most of them are taller than mine. It was a special deal, that's why I jumped on it.




Dang, sideways. no idea why.

Is your sleep deck at top of blind? Or mid section? Very nice either way!

The sleep deck is that plywood above the shooting shelf and windows you see in the pic. It's like half a ceiling above where you sit and watch for game.
