Let you imagination go wild. I got tired of painting so I build mine out of steel now and to off set the heat I insulate the walls then carpet the interior. shelves are a must of course. But the I also fix them with coax for antenna reception which can power a 12 TV, fan and/or cooler. I know it is extreme but like I said imagination is dangerous, but fun.

It's a little rickity but it makes the hunt much more exciting! Not really, I found this blind on my old lease!
Thursday at 12:45 PM #33 Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

This box is 4' x 5'. I added the front porch this last year. It is 4' x 6'. I will be adding them to all future towers.

About as simple as it gets. The door was the most expensive item. I have since put a corrugated tin roof on it.

These are made by West Texas Hunting Supply. They are between 3-5k each (depending on tower size and other extras.) They are 100% worth the money and have a life time warranty. They are 5x7 and very comfortable. Right now we have 5 of these on our ranch.

I built three of these bow blinds last summer in my garage and then dis-assembled them and took them to the ranch. Took about 8 hours to put em back together. They're 6'x6' with a 7' front sloping to 6.5' in the back. Windows/doors just hinge down and with the eves haven't had any water penetrate so far. Plenty of room inside for 2 and 3 is possible but not real comfy. Used radiant barrier decking under the metal on the roof and am surprised how tolerable they are in the middle of the summer. They're shown with the primer coat but have since been camoed. Regards, Scott

That's pretty slick, kinda like a 'small cabin on wheels' or maybe for some, the 'getaway house' from the better-half or honey-do's.

want an advice? if don't, who cares;) use a ground blind, tent type. it's cheaper, easier to get one and if you need to move your feeding place the fixed ones are a problem. If you have money and can reach the hunting places by car buy one of those luxury "roulottes"

There's a store off of 290 between College Station and Houston. This was about 6 years ago now, but it basically came as 5 pieces of plastic, a ton of screws, and a bunch of bars. The plastic tries to flex away from you while you're putting it together, making it really tough.
The next time I head to my land, I'll see if they still have any and how much they are.

And you guys might be making a liar out of me. I may have paid for the base separately. Maybe it was $300 for just the blind. I honestly don't remember, so please don't make plans based on what I said.
