Nice job brother. Trying to get my son to go this way. He wants to buy the bass pro blinds. I believe these are cheaper and built better. A little scouring and we can come up with materials laying around. I’m guessing I will have to build it and show him. Love what you’re doing. Do you have clients that use the blinds and do they like them?
Thanks for the comment. Blinds are just for personal use.

Nice blind. Your putting all your eggs into one basket but if it’s a good location, it works! I assume this is gun hunting only, my blinds need to be for gun and bow, so they are completely different and I freeze my rear end off. I can think of many mornings that I’d love love love to be in that blind!!! Good job, thanks for showing it to us. Porcupines don’t live around me, but the mice and squirrels move in while I’m not around. I really enjoyed this video, thank you
Actually I have hunted and shot deer from this blind with archery equipment. Crossbow and vertical bow both. That's why I built the front of this blind so much higher than the back, to allow for a vertical bow. These box blinds also help with scent control, KPO.
I built my to be 8x8. Three hunters and a sleeping couch. I installed a urinal in mine, I ran a hose out of it and down into the ravine right into a spot that has standing water.
A+++ X's 2!!! Excellent hunting blind. Well... that explains that. I was wondering what that little notch was for in the window sill!!! haha I'd probably figure out a way to swap window sills in a nearly silent manner (no drill) by using some hanger bolts and maybe wing nuts. I don't know if it'd make a difference, but if I build a blind like that I might consider using flat black paint vs. gloss black on the areas you painted inside the blind. Thank You for sharing!!!
The notch is a rest for my crossbow. Flat black would be better, but I will tell you with one small window only, it is pitch black inside when look from the outside. Thanks for adding in, KPO.
Just my thoughts as a hunter …..in a blind is not hunting ...I have always just went to the woods and found myself a place to set and have always got my limit never failed and always used black power 54 cal.
Have you actually shot your crossbow out of that blind? It looks like the recoil of the limbs will hit the sides of the window. Just an observation and good luck this year in the U.P.
Roger, yes. Between my sons and myself we have shot 5 deer (with the crossbow) from this blind with that window system. But I know what you're talking about. Just three weeks ago I was telling my son to make sure and open the window ALL the way to avoid this very problem. In the video the crossbow isn't cocked so the limbs are as far forward as they go. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching, KPO.
Richard, you bet he is! You need to check out my vid "Promiscuouse Doe - The best doe urine". I have a story about Ronnie at the deer camp. Thanks for watching, KPO.
