Looks pretty good. I have hunted out of one similar to this. It was very comfy. The windows even had glass over them to keep the heat in.

Looks good to me. The only knock I would have on it and its from my own mistakes building the same type stand is that it seems you have the roof graded towards what would be considered the front of the blind. If you dont plan on hunting in foul weather then its no problem but if you do I can tell you now its a real pain when the water is pouring off the roof right in front of you where you suspect most of your shots will be. That would be the only advice I have for you and other than that it looks great. Good luck!

looks good crazy seeing box blinds out that way im from Oregon first time I hunted here in tx I had no clue what a box blind was lol little trick also thicker window seals and one of those ,blind shooting bags give u a awesome shooting platform and netting to block out your outline

I like how open it is....great for Rifle or Bow Hunting!

As mentioned....some Camo material would hide Your Body outline and any movement.

Thanks all! The last pic is facing the front..its hard to tell the angles..but the roof does tilt back...my only concern is the rain/snow sliding off and hitting/freezing on the stairs I am going to put up...Its mainly going to be for crossbow and rifle...I have this one up hill from where the wood stand is....Im gonna try and get one with my compound bow out of here...if that doesn't work I will get my muzzle loader well I have good trails coming through the bottom of my land where this stand is...may as well try to make good use or kill a deer out of it...its all in hopes to get my "EMO-teen step-daughter" into hunting...all I can say is I'm trying to get her into something that doesn't involve stupid facebook or self-pity...lol
