Default RE: Tower blind ideas?

Depends on a few things, Like access to site, and any equipment to build it?

Personally, where we moose hunt, it is quite hard to get anything in. everything is by atv, and on old winter skidder roads. But What I would do, is 4x4's and Deck blocks. Use 2x4 as braces. What size platform do you want? and how high? I'd probably use 2x6 to frame out the platform, and you can either go 5/4 pressure treated decking, or a sheet of plywood. 3" screws or nails to hold everything together, Lag bolt the Platform to the 4x4's.

Once that's done, I would pre-build the walls and roof for the box, could use 2x2 or 2x3 to cut costs. Pull them up, and nail em down.

Here is a link, that has some Pics of what I am talking about. You don't need to use the products they are selling, but could make it easier to set up. Personally I'd just Lag bolt it all down.
