RE: Digging a pit...
I hunt out of a home made fiberglass and concreetpits
But we took the idea from onewe saw on a TV show
Look in the back of the DU magazine
If you plan on hunting out of it a lot
Comfort is a big thing
Try to make the top of it flush with the ground
Then put a slie back cover or some type of push thru cover
We used Plastic Broom type stuff
That we got from Cabela's
We wired ours with 110 v to power the sump pump
But the power also runs lights , cofffe pot and hot plate
If in a cold climate
A propane heater is nice also
