Getting ready for a good season.

About two weeks ago i finished up this shack for Rifle season in Ohio. Probably more so for January. I actually have a ladder stand right behind this shack for early season. And about 70 yards down over the hill i will put up a ladder stand and archery hunt out of it.

Yesterday afternoon i started building another one i'm going to put in the middle of a food plot. The part of this property i want to hunt has no good tree's for a ladder stand so i built another shack this weekend. I plan on plowing up at least a half acre and planting turn ups and some corn or alfalfa. I plan on putting this one about 12 feet in the air.

Bah! Food plots, stands, baiting!

No skill hunting.

Looking good. Mine isnt portable but it works.

Its so much nicer when its cold and the Mr Heater is keeping me toasty warm on the couch.

I built it 6x5 outside dimensions. I get the windows for free, but the wood is pretty expensive. Plenty of room for two and a heater if needed. I just like staying out of the wind.

Do you hunt the primitive season?

I wish Colorado had one. I'd sell every gun I have, and build a flintlock.

Mine wont be portable either. Going to put it about 12 feet high in the air. That's a pretty good idea though, portable shack or blind????? You really got be thinking about that one.

We can only use a Flintlock in ML season for Buck and Doe.
