Coleridge:

I would like some more stats on your tower:
What did you have in lumber $$$ ?
How long did it take to construct ?
Were you near a power supply, use a generator, or do it with hand tools?
what are the dimensions of the shelter?
did you encounter any problems?


I built a 4x8 blind (2005) so I could take my 2 & 3 year old boys deer hunting. It cost me about $300 because I was able to use lumber left over from another project. I built it in managable sizes at home and put it togeather on top of a 20 foot mound of dirt. The biggest problem I had was getting the material and tools up the mound. I had to borrow a generator to get the job done, because it was nowhere near a power supply.

It will last a lifetime, but it was hard work for a couple of weekends.

for those who maybe concerned that I take a 2 & 3 year old hunting, I do it Barney Fife style! unloaded gun with a bullet in my pocket. And the only deer I'll take would have to be deaf and blind to come anywhere near us. But its about being out with my kids, not shooting a deer.
