What're the most extravagant deer blinds yall have seen? I thought I was doing good with my big insulated elevated boxes from texas hunter products, but a buddy of mine is getting what is essentially an elevated conference room with all amenities (tv,heat,ac, fridge). These basically look like an all-in-one deer camp and blind.
Anyone seen these things? They have everything but a crapper. No more missing the cowboys game while in the blind.

Seen one with a pool table, card table and other furniture along with heat/ac with a feeder in all 4 directions. Porch on all 4 sides and a staircase to get you up.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

What hunter would put that up for a deer blind and not even put a few mounts in it?

that thing looks gay as hell. I would love to have a tv to watch some sports, but I am afraid I might not have gotten a single deer last year with the cussing and yelling I did during longhorns/cowboys games. Plus I might miss something out in front of me. If I had the time/money/need for a new blind, I would build a bigger one than the ones we have for sure.

Put a crapper in that "blind"/small house on stilts and never worry about spooking game on way to or from stand. go to the lease for the weekend and never leave the blind until you leave the lease.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

gotta admit that would be absotely awesome. No waking up really early to put on layers of clothes to freeze in in the blind. Wake up at daylight, cook breakfast and hunt at the same time in the heated indoors

The problem I see with that blind is it doesn't look like my truck would fit underneath it. I hate walking.

but is it really hunting if you essentially hunt from a cabin. might as well just set a feeder up a hundred yards from camp and shoot from the trailer. it is all about getting out there and experiencing the elements for me. just having a corn feeder is convenient enough for me. I do wish I had an iphone sometimes that would make the slow days go way faster

If I had a really large spread, i mean a real big one, i would have the acommodator(the blind pictured above).
I don't think i'd get much hunting done in it, i'd use it to entertain the ladies....
all ranch king blinds are nice
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

My buddy's ranch is primarily used to entertain corporate clients, so you're exactly correct. Ranch was formerly used to film hunts for "fair game tv".
Word is these things run somethin like 30k each. However, if your serious about it, the company that makes them will fly you down to S.TX (from Odessa anyways) so you can check them out. Anyone know who makes it tho?

Add a stripper pole and it's a complete setup.
