An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

Ordered deerview windows, about three weeks to make and deliver them. Two are custom, two standard. Lumber, paint, glue and roofing material ran me about $150.00. Windows were $200, delivered. My window openings are 11" wide. Two are 45-1/2" long, two are 34" giving me a solid corner that is painted dark camo for a wind break and something to hide behind. The corner shelves wrap all the way around, giving me a front and rear shooting rest.

That looks awesome! I love big windows and small corners.

I've done that before. I built one on the side of a steep hill one, Pipe Creek Ranch in the hill country. Carried it in in pieces by myself, wasn't all that bad, came out pretty good.
I was also about 25 years younger!!!
thanks, BD
Thanks, Billy

Headed to the lease this weekend, going to install on tower. Hoping for a delivery from deer view windows before Friday. That's a little ahead of their promised delivery but maybe.

looks good....I build mine pretty much the same....I only use 2x2's making it very light and I can assemble on a 12ft tower platform by myself (provided its not windy). I used a gallon of deckover paint on the last 2 blinds I built for me and my son...seems to work pretty well protecting the wood....had it mixed to a drab shade of green...add some corner flashing and it's good to go....

Awesome job! I've built a few boxes in my time. But I still remember as a kid, that building a new deer blind meant putting up some scrap boards in a tree! I guess I've come a long way....

I finally ordered some windows last season and they are a game changer especially when I have the kids with me.
