Follow along as I explain some of the methods I used to build and elevate this shooting box/deer blind. Some ideas are mine, some are borrowed from others. I can’t wait to hunt out of it!
SORRY FOR THE SHAKING IN THE VERY BEGINNING AND END! I WASN’T AWARE UNTIL LATER ON.

If you gotta ask, chances are you did.
Now you just need a bucket toilet and a tp holder🤓
If concerned about urine odor just bury a gallon jug with holes poked in it and run urinal tube (pvc or old garden hose) into it.
The urinal is genius! Well done.
Beautiful blind and great job salvaging building materials.
I built a couple of two story blinds last year.
Only thing I found was the deer didn’t like the netting or burlap because the wind would blow it causing movement.
I stenciled the legs and outer walls with silhouette trees and leaves so it would blend into the fall canopy.
Thanks for posting, I need to add that urinal, brilliant lol
how many guys to lay blind on side to box in legs and how did you stand it ?
The truth! Love your style and functional ideas. Deer don't know if it's a new 2/4 or a used one. Nice blind. Food plot too…. You looking for a hunting partner……?
Looks amazing man. Keep up the good work. I'll be building one this spring out of pallets. Maybe I'll post it.
would love to see a video on a succesful hunt from this awesome blind though
deer can smell the pheromones in urine but hearing is probaly their best sense IMO from what I was taught years ago in the hunter safety course lol but its moreso about colors they have excellent eye sight and can see any color in black, white and UV spectrums
They say human sent leaves the urine 20 mins after you pee
Great great job!
Where are you in WI?
Also, just curious how much property do you have?
Thanks for the great ideas, going to build a 6X8 blind for another hunting property in the mid-west where the weather can really get nasty, as in the recent tornados that destroyed lots of Kentucky. Prayers for the families that lost loved ones.
The ladder you might need to be careful when it's raining
Great tips, love the ladder!
Nice stand and cool idea for a urinal!! Looks nice and cozy inside!
How does it work after a year. Did you insulate it or no
Urine smell doesnt bother deer. I’ve peed deliberately from my climber within eyesight of deer wind in their favor to test their reaction.
Needless to say I learned it doesn’t bother them. I’ve proven it several times for my satisfaction.
I agree with you about human urine. I believe it really peaks a deer's curiosity. I'll actually urinate on rubs. I get at least 2 deer every season. one bow and one with a gun. I'm 66 and have been hunting regularly for 30yrs.
Nice now can you build me one. LoL
Now thats my kind of shooting shack. Mine is only 4’x8’ and not elevated but where it sits it doesnt need to be. The field it overlooks is 500 yds long but most of the deer traffic is within 300. I need to add plexiglass to my window to keep out the cold
How did rainex help with the windows fogging? I wonder if with rainex you could just use a soft squeegee on them.
"wind storm with 100 mph+ winds"… that's called a tornado lol. Cool blind setup I'm 100% jealous!
I LIVE IN NW WISC. GREAT IDEA WITH THE STEPS. SNOW ON WOOD STEPS ALSO CRUNCHY/SLIPPERY. I HAD TO FINALLY PUT SMALL MESH CHICKEN WIRE ON OUTSIDE OF BLINDS CAUSE THE RED SQUIRRELS CONSTANTLY CHEWED HOLES IN THE WOOD WALLS AND NESTED IN THEM. WHAT A STINKEN' MESS TO DEAL WITH. NEXT BLIND IS GOING TO HAVE METAL ROOFING MATERIAL FOR WALLS.
Very Nice!
Very nice !
Lol let me know if you need a hunting buddy!!
Bad news is I think you over engineered the whole thing, good news is I probably don’t know $hit…😆. If it works ok you’re ahead of the game
Essentially just a tree house
I've built about a dozen hunting blinds and sold them over the years. But finally building one for myself. And even after all the blinds I have built, I got new ideas from this video. Thanks alot. I will share my build when I get it finished.
Nice build man! I’m itching to make one myself. I like the idea of the landscape materials before you put the sheathing on. Save on painting time.
Great ideas!
In my experience, urine brings the deer in. Dad always said bucks can detect testosterone levels in the urine (from a man) and it brings them in snorting and stomping thinking another male buck is invading their territory. Every time I've taken a leak, I have gotten a buck.
I think this is amazing. A lot of interesting details. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
What about a staircase and back deck?
Jealous
Nice build! I love the pee part, haha!
I built a 6×8 ft two man stand 12ft tall. Similar to yours, 2 yrs ago. I like some if the things you did to your stand. But we don't have certain issues in our georgia area. Mine overlooks a half acre plot with corn feeder. Tks for your informative video.
Very nice lots of things i didn't think of and im bout to build one so thx! Love the bathroom!
