The first one looks like/is an Outhouse LOL.
The second one is awesome! All it needs is a pisser and fridge.

Re: post pics of blinds/stands
im thinkin about getting a pop up blind. saw one today for like $100 and its basically a ghillie suit, completely conceals movement inside of it. just concerned about freezing my ass off inside. a plywood blind will hold some heat

Here are a couple I built for my lease in Uvalde a couple of years ago. Every thing is steel except the floor is plywood. They will be around for a while.

I bet those steel bastards are hot! I'd need a camo jockstrap and sweatbands to hunt that setup in 80-90 degree temperatures.

I made the the box 4'x6'x6'6" which isnt to big to use solo but comfortable enough for two people. The bottom is 6x6ft and allows a 2 ft wide walkway/porch for making getting in and out safe. It is over built for sure, used 14ga 1 1/4 sq tubing and galvanized sheet metal for sides and roof. They are carpeted and have 1/2" pink styrofoam insulation in them along with plexiglass windows.Went with 6" "C" purlin for the stairway.Everthing is modular and comes apart for transportaion as they are a tad on the heavy side. I use Miller 251 wire units.

Re: post pics of blinds/stands
el gordo- i know its off topic but how do you like the 251? i have been seriously lookin into the new 180 w/ autoset...i love miller migs. that blind is freakin awesome i have to say. great work on them for sure. i think id like to have a small lift on mine, like 2 or 3 ft but still have a porch. when your in the blind way up in the air, do you ever have to stand up to get your gun angled down for a shot? or did you make the windows lower? or do you just place the blind far enough away from the feeder that the shot angle isn't that severe?
triggernometry- i really like the last one up off the ground, never seen a duck blind like that before.
tom- did you make that yourself? i really like that a lot

GardDog223, those are cool as bees knees. One question though. Does the reflection of the sun cause any spooking of game? If not, those things will hide anywhere.

If you notice they are pointed downward. It is an old trick magicians use.

Flippin' deer and pigs would run right into them where I hunt! They have to be blind and stupid if I can see them...
Seriously, those are cool... is that glass or polished metal?

Re: post pics of blinds/stands
Here's the blind I setup for the VA youth hunting day.
Here's a frontal look at it.
There are trails every 10 yrds behind it going across the ridge and scapes less than 20 yds in front of it with coyote and bear crap all around it. I've only sit in it once with a 6 yr old, even a blind couldn't keep him quiet, LOL. I'll keep it up as a bad weather spot and possibly a late season predator calling spot. Not as comfortable as yours tucker
