Permanent hunting blinds

Here is my blind, for the frigid Alberta November temperatures, usually -25 at night........talk about a cold arse and feet.

8x8x8 is what mine is. Little big, next one will maybe be 8x6 but for only one more sheet of plywood and a couple more two-by-twices your 8x8. Nice to have room to take you boots and jacket off before you step up to the office chair.

Deer don’t seem to mind the big brown box, atleast the dozen or so we’ve shot in front of it haven’t.

great size like ours....at my age at 71 its great to have some room to stretch a bit....
 
My neighbour loves them and has parked quite a few along my fence lines because he has bulldozed and drained all his game habitat. He has planted a couple of food plots next to my preserved habitat as well. I’m sure he’s comfortable but very inconsiderate and greedy. Walk, spot and stalk is fair chase in my books. Camping over a food plot is trapping not hunting.
 
while my stand isn't permanent, the location is.
I hunt the area during the fall migration and it took some years to figure out the best spot on the mountainside to set up a stand. The ground is too steep for the ladder to sit with both legs on the ground so we had to improvise with an extendable leg on the down hill side.
I used to hike, stalk, on the trails on the mountains there but my disabilities have limitted me in recent years.
I do still enjoy spot and stalk hunting for animals in the interior of BC where the terrain is more suitable for a slow walk.
my stand blends in pretty good though ;)
took the picture looking at it from the side shooting lane after downing a buck right where i'm standing to take the pic.

This is my daughter's blind, it's on her farm in ON near Tillsonburg.
All built from used materials from barn reno's, fencing and decking.
Its built on the side of a hill, it gives a great view over one if her fields and the edges are planted for late fall deer treats.
