How to make a Deer Box Blind - this video shows the progress of my whitetail deer box blind build that Johanne and I built near our camp. Box blinds or deer blinds are great setups in a food plot to help you stay warm and comfortable during the fall hunt. For us, this is a wildlife observatory as we plan to use it all year long to sit and watch animals feed off our food plot.

Really enjoyed your video, will use it to help me make my first blind.

@FrankZinck 5 месяцев назад

I’m sure you will enjoy it as much we enjoy ours.

Much appreciated the comment.

I’m a fan Frank. I’ll be watching. I’ve never been hunting but it’s something in my future. I’ve been target shooting hand guns and long guns for over 15 years. This is a nice looking deer blind. Very nice.

Thanks Ricky.

Love it when you hit the wall with your hammer your wife’s reaction was priceless!!lol great job good teamwork

@FrankZinck Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it. My wife and I love to have fun.

@UncleBucks 2 года назад

That's a well-built blind and it ought to last. Enjoyed the video. Good luck in all of your future hunts!

@FrankZinck 2 года назад

She’s pretty sturdy lol. We plan to use it throughout the year as an observation deck over the food-plot during the summer as well. Thanks.

@johnnybrunson1641 Год назад

Great team👍🏻

Thanks we think so lol.

@fishingfitzgeralds9493 2 года назад

That is a well built blind.. the deer will be back next fall..like those windows need to see how they open :)

@FrankZinck 2 года назад

I’ll shoot a quick video next time we are up for you. They are awesome.

Thanks we have been enjoying it.

@navytroll 2 года назад

Well Frank, that sure is a great video you put together. Your wildlife observatory is great and should give Johanne and yourself plenty of great wildlife photo shots and a video with a roundup of them would be nice next year, just a hint. lol. Well 2021 hunting season was a bust, health was not the best and I was forced to stay out of the woods., but look forward to some hardwater fishing. Good Lord willing, we'll see you out there.

@FrankZinck 2 года назад

I hope things are going well and yes I hope to see you on the ice again. I like your hint. See what we can do lol.

@rapiddog1491 2 года назад

It would make a good meditation chamber in the off season.

@FrankZinck 2 года назад

We have actually thought about that too.

@bushinkandojo735 2 года назад

Nice Job. I have been thinking of doing the same on my wood lot. I was fortunate enough to take an 8 point buck and my son got his first deer this season, but it was more than a few cold days sitting in the tree stand. With the price of lumber these days it almost makes it building one unaffordable. Hopefully the prices next summer will come down and the deer blind will go up!!!

@FrankZinck 2 года назад

That must have been a very special moment with your son. Congratulations. Ya the price of wood was off the hook for sure. I was really lucky because my buddy donated the plywood to me and saved me a ton. I plan to build a smaller version this summer in the woods where there is lots of cover for the bucks.

@kenp4464 2 года назад

Cool build. Not a hunter, but I'd camp out in that.

@FrankZinck 2 года назад

We friends with kids, I bet they'll want to camp out in it. Cool fort LOL

@DavidScobie 9 месяцев назад

Handy tip get some chicken mesh wire and cut it into a strip for your steps it's going to provide instant grip in winter so you don't fall going up or down the steps

@FrankZinck 9 месяцев назад

Great idea. I will do that.

@dougroberts3643 8 месяцев назад

That turned out nice. I tried finding the muddy blind windows that you have and I can't find them. I even checked at Princess Auto where you got yours. Do you have any suggestions

@FrankZinck 8 дней назад

I wish I did. A lot of people are looking for them.

@haroldwonder446 2 года назад

Standard Deck screws are not engineered to take lateral movement they are meant more for vertical strength applications such as securing planks for decking. Using galv., nails are better for securing joists they have a higher sheering strength, and there are special galv., nails to hold those joist brackets you used again better sheering strength. But all I would do now that you are finished is go back and place a few nails in the cross bracing to ensure they are secure for the long haul. And galv. everything is better when using treated lumber. Just saying for future ref.

@FrankZinck 2 года назад

I hear ya. I think it’s a conspiracy propagated by the galvanized nail industry. 😂 ya I may do it. Consider it a test.

@ronfulwider7123 Год назад

Nice blind! Where did you find the Muddy blind windows? I cant seem to find them.

@FrankZinck Год назад

Got them at Princes Auto. They were $139 for four I got the for $34. I bought two boxes. Don’t think they have them anymore.

@tmpJason 2 года назад

Great job! You are a man of many talents. One question...I think I saw another structure kind of close through the trees; are there any issues with hunting that close to another building?

@FrankZinck 2 года назад

We bought 23 acres of land. We own the cabin and shed and everything else. The nearest building that’s not ours is about 2km away. So we are very much alone. Lol.

@tmpJason 2 года назад

@jeffcustrin5797 2 года назад

Great video , did you guys manage to harvest a deer?

@FrankZinck 2 года назад

No. We both had a doe license and had numerous does coming but I didn’t want to take a doe that might be a possible breeder for the area. Not the first year anyway. Had sights on a buck but didn’t like the shot. He was in amongst some trees and never stepped out. Thelma the breaks lol.

@arinprescott2096 5 месяцев назад

Ive also got enough time before next season, starts in October and it's February. I would like to plant food plots but my land is all wooded and I don't really know what will grow on mostly shaded ground. Recommendations?

@FrankZinck 4 месяца назад

I would use a walk and toss. Like Rack Stacker. The stuff grows anywhere. I have it on some old logging roads.

@teresadoyle1396 2 года назад

A great job on your stand! So, did you get a deer from it this season? I hope so!

@FrankZinck 2 года назад

No we didn’t. Although we both had doe tags I didn’t want kill any breeders in the area. Had my sights on a buck but didn’t take the shot. He was in too much cover and never stepped out. Still enjoyed every minute.

@teresadoyle1396 2 года назад

@@FrankZinck There’s always next year! 👍 My husband didn’t see anything this year but our son and I each got a buck just ten minutes apart!🤣 He got a nice spike and I got a six pointer. Great memories were made that day and that is really all that matters! Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄

@FrankZinck 2 года назад

Wow ten minutes apart, what a special moment for you guys. Great memory.

@arinprescott2096 5 месяцев назад

Im going to build me a 8x8 blind 12' high and im thinking 6x6 fot the post. What do you think

@FrankZinck 4 месяца назад

It’ll give you more room than I have. I wouldn’t go any bigger.

@garyvangelderen5759 Год назад

Could you tell me who you called to get the windows and are those windows 16 and a half inch glass horizontal? That's a nice looking stand, did a great job, you and your wife.

@garyvangelderen5759 Год назад

Vertical ,sorry

@FrankZinck Год назад

I got them at Princess Auto in Dartmouth, NS. They were sold out in a couple of days and never got any back in. I don't remember the size of them. Thanks, we love our little stand.

@garyvangelderen5759 Год назад

I'm sorry they were horizontal windows and there's three of them in that blind

@FrankZinck Год назад

The box actually came with 4 windows but I only used three. They can go vertical as well.

@garyvangelderen5759 Год назад
