VTbowman Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Just went out to build some ground blinds and took the final pic showing the new camo on my rifle box stand.. Ok it kinda sucks as far as camo goes but should fool a deers eye... Heres the framing. Top and bottom bolt together. Here it is last season with out Camo. Here is my Camo job... I used a 4" roller from the ground so my tree branches are not as good as it looked in my mind. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvDog Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: Before and After pics of Box stand. Nice blind. Guess you could have used some help from Realtree on the camo though, huh? I'm sure it will do the job though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: Before and After pics of Box stand. Nice job...did you do all the welding yourself? About how much did the metal run you? That spot looks pretty good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: Before and After pics of Box stand. Thats a good looking blind. I would not worry about the camo. The deer will get used to it no matter the color... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted August 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: Before and After pics of Box stand. Well 2 deer have been shot from it so I know it works. LOL And that was just plain ole Tan color too. As far as metal, I got it free from a place I worked (or else this blind would not be...). I bought the OSB and small hardware. A neighbor gave me the tin for the roof. Yes I welded it myself too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: Before and After pics of Box stand. SHOW OFF... But I can atest to it's comfy warmth on those cold windy days, when hunting would be less desirable.... and with the addition to some great looking ground blinds the Shawn has just constructed very recently,,hunting there is going to be a blast....... Im sure he will post some pics of the new ground blinds,,,,,I just got back from sitting in them and they are going to make bowhunting that much more successful..

dogdoc Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: Before and After pics of Box stand. nice blind. I love those enclosed shooting blinds. Especially on those cold mornings--fire up the little heater and get toasty! todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: Before and After pics of Box stand. Looking good there VTB. Get some good pics of the ground blinds you and Luke are going to go brush crazy to conceal and get Luke in at least one of the pics. Can't wait to see your natural cover blinds. Keep a roll or 2 of electrical tape handy for that job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its nice to just get out of the wind, but having a heater helps too. I love this thing! A frosty -20*F morning, breezy, snowing maybe and I am in this having coffee and donuts, and still hunting deer... You wait we are hookin' up satelite TV soon..

Smitteken Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Re: Before and After pics of Box stand. I know me and some buddies would have a card table and a cooler of beer in there. I'm pretty sure the thing would never have a deer killed out of it if it were mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted August 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Re: Before and After pics of Box stand. Well its seen a few empty beer cans but only during evening "scouting" missions.
