My dream deer stand is taking shape

Fantastic job!

Nice work!!! good luck to the hunting season

It does look sweet....Very nice

Dandy Job! I agree with Turkey Rookie - Stairs is the way to go. I would add a hand rail of sorts for wet or frosty days, not really a criticism - great job. Good luck this coming season and enjoy all that hard work.

I can't see the photos on my phone, just wondering if you put the telephone poles right on the ground or had a base? We used patio stones to set our posts on to prevent rotting at the base. We also anchored it all with cables. I know many are a fan of flip up or out windows, we went with flip in widows, they stop flat and double as bench rests when long shots are required, (the glass is thick aquarium grade stuff, and we have sand bags in a big coffee can) We put nice swivel office chairs in our towers. They are labour intensive to build but the ultimate in all day hunting in any weather. Also we ran PVC pipe into the ground to address any number 1 bathroom breaks that eventually come.
We do still hunt ground blinds, tree hangers and ladder stands, but with the box blinds there are no cabin days due to weather, and we've taken deer in those in some of the worst weather you can imagine. You won't be disapointed.

That's an awesome stand! Should be plenty of warm, dry hunts in your future. I like the idea of being able to maximize your time in the field on crappy days that would keep most guys back at camp playing cards. By the looks of it, you can probably still play cards!

Looks great.

As mentioned by a few the hand rail for the stairs is next. Still have to put a handle on the door too. Swivel office chairs are a must as they allow for long sits. And yes the urnal in the corner piped down to the ground. I built one of these a few yrs ago at the other side of the bush for my dad and his is 4x8 and I just find with two guys and gear it's too narrow so hopefully the extra 2 ft will be a huge difference. Still have to squirrel proof it( some wire screen mesh and spray foam the gaps on the tin roof and trim up some gaps around the windows if not the chairs become nests. This defently beats sitting in the elements on them cold rainy days when you only have a short holiday to be out sitting.

Looks great goose. I would spend the night in that for sure.

Wow - that is A1.
