Have any of you ever moved a 4 x 6 blind with your Polaris Ranger? I am looking for ways to get mine without having to haul a trailer to where it is. Post pictures if you have any.

About 11-12 yrs ago now I moved 2- 4'x8'-8' tall box blind2 with a Polaris Ranger 6x6. I jacked the blind up and then used 2"x8" to make skids(stood upright, not laid flat). I angled the end at a 45 degree angle so it would not dig into the ground. One on each long side of the blind. Then put more up above those on the short side to keep it from collapsing inwards as I moved it. I put a chain on each leg(2 front) around the skid and leg then attached chains to the Ranger. I drug it in low range 6 wheel drive. It was like dragging a sled. Blinds were not that heavy though.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

Most of the time we pull a little 5x10 trailer behind the ranger to move stands. We have moved a 4x6 fiberglass stand on the bed rails, but it was pretty light weight.

I have a 16 foot trailer. The problem is it is a pain to maneuver that thing up the hill where my stand is located

You will probably have to buy a Kawasaki mule

I've moved a lot more than that with mine.....You shouldn't have problem. I moved 3 blinds that size on a 16' trailer with my ranger, the blinds were not put together but in sections of walls, decks, and roofs with 12' 4x4's.
