Controlled deer hunt almost here whats new !?

Now you just need to keep: porcupines from eating the plywood, raccoons from taking up residence and wasps from making a big nest in there.

Worried about the wasps the most, ive read critters dont like the taste of the pressure treated lumber so well see hiw that goes, all done for this year but next year I'll be redoing the windows with some hard transparent plastic instead of plywood. Went back a couple days ago pulled my card and there's some old geezer looking at my stand and took a piss on my ladder.... no one knows who he is so a trespasser. Just 1 more thing to worry about. Went back up yesterday and put a lock on it, good thing I went about 11feet high with it, alot of guys are scared if heights so that's 1 more plus hahaha.

Good work! That swamp looks like northern Ontario.

Any property taxes expected for that palace?

Probably get hit for a vacant home tax.

Thanks Sam! I hunt 81A, about 300 or 400 yards further up past the trees there's a big beaver pond as well, what I really wanted to do was get my stand in there, but to get all the materials through there with no path was to much of a struggle, I may build something on the ground further up there possibly next year, just so I have another spot but we'll see what this year brings from here. Very excited to hunt out of it.

That's a great looking stand! The big overhang really does make a huge difference with the sun rain snow etc

We used four plastic dock floats as a base exactly 4x8 feet, that I had hanging around for years, got them at the local dump. We used old plywood sheets and 2x4 and instead of painting it with black paint , it was actually cheaper to buy a roll of ice/water shield roofing to cover it including the roof, peel and stick.

Because my buddy wanted the big overhang for the snow, the weight made it a bit tippy so I had to secure the back with a couple of steel poles into the ground.

The other mistake was he insisted on a big shooting window, but to me it was to big, so we enclosed it in a bit with burlap covering.

The inside is blacked out with a few cans of black spray paint.

This thing is like a bunker, 2x4 spaced 16inches, be there long after I am gone.

Because we used the floats you have a full foot snow clearance to step up and into and I suspect the insulated foam filled floats and plywood 1/2 inch floor will keep the rising damp out.
