Not a gigantic fan. Glad I had some rubber sealant to repair a couple holes. Stuff rips pretty easy. Did like the foam filler for the ridges though. Roof is on, not gonna be fun to do 10 feet in the air.

My kids have been nuts about it lately too. Still makes ME laugh! Wife isn't such a big fan, especially when my 3 year old starts yelling "SHADDAP!"

Soil pH is 6.6, seems like I'm good to go! Now, just have to get my uncles disc farrow over, buy about 40lbs of winter rye & wheat, and get to work!

I would do G, but further down wind, that looks like a major travel corridor.

Check these out Eddie : http://deerviewwindows.com/hinge-window-3/ Be another 2 weeks to get mine, but seemed like a quiet, cheap solution with good visibility. 3 weeks fabrication time gives me time to build the enclosure, paint it, and get the brush hog going on the spot where it's going to be.

Taking a sample to the Cornell co-op today for analysis, planning on doing the winter rye/wheat. Really appreciate the advice!

I'll keep that in mind for the next 8

What "facts"? All I've heard so far is "you can't say it's not hunting if you don't pony up 10k to shoot an animal in a 5 acre fence! Because it's SUPER HARD. ". You might even be right. Doesn't make it hunting.

Can I bring my big chainsaw and a log skidder?

Even if everything you said is true, just makes you good at hunting livestock in a large enclosure. If you're good at picking up hookers and happen to be a pimp, doesn't make you an awesome success with the ladies.

Dude, you're obviously really good at what you do, resident expert here. What makes you go there when someone states the obvious? I really do respect your opinion and knowledge on this subject, just don't know why you have to be an oversensitive prick and delude yourself that it's hunting.

Calling it hunting is a joke. The bloodline and breeding aspect is fascinating, but more like raising a Thoroughbred.

Finished the frame and door this weekend, goal next weekend is to get it ready for painting! Hope I got the cutout for the window on the door big enough, going to be a PITA if I have to enlarge it further.

I had pictured, in my head, the mobile home anchors being bolted into the bottom of each of the 4x4s. Think that would work for keeping it from sinking/shifting? What did you use to drill those anchors into the ground? I really appreciate all your advice, nice to know I'm not too far off the mark so far!

More than a few I've heard, for the leopard. Jim was a wreck by the time he retired from pussycat puncturing, by his own admission. I can't imagine the strain that takes on your nerves

Yeah I got that part, just not sure how you use them? You use it to tighten the 4x4's before you cross brace then? I had the same plan, each wall and the roof would come in it's own section. Throw up the bae +supports, the hauk up each section. Gonna do a home made camo job on it too. Might spray foam in the cracks to tighten it up. Carpet remnant on the floor to muffle noise?

I'm not sure what you mean about the ratchet ties? Got a picture?

Yeah I was eyeballing those today at (B)Lowe's! Was going to mount them to plywood, and thinking the 2x4 frame under that. Probably overkill, I tend to over engineer the crap out of everything. So Greendrake, question for you : How do you set the posts? I was thinking dig holes, fill with gravel once it's level? If you dig holes, how deep? This is the part that's worried me the most since I started it. Planning on setting it up in the middle of a partially overgrown field, brush and sailing etc. A bit on the west side but not awful.

Yeah I out in the 2x6s in the front and back, same deal.

What do you mean elevators? Was going to use pressure treated 4x4s, probably 12 footers and then trim them down. And of course cross brace them. I ordered these brackets for mounting : https://www.e-ztower.com/

That's the dream, the buff!

Oh and there's a 3 week fabrication time on those windows if you order them. Since throwing them in is the last step, not a big deal.

I went with 37" to the shelf / window bottom. Framing is done, time to make the door. Kind of unsure about the roof. It's got to have 4 imches of overhang on every side, so that's 2 pieces of pressure treated plywood together if I want to shingle it. I want the roof, 4 walls, and the base to all come apart into pieces for transport. So how do I get the roof shingled but detachable? Joist brackets?

My grandfather had his M-1 from the Japanese theater, it grew legs and walked when my step grandmothers shady ass kids visited.

Bought them : http://deerviewwindows.com/hinge-window-3/ Its primary purpose is going to be a gun / crossbow blind so my dad can hunt our food plot field in comfort. Also it will presumably be the place I introduce my girls to hunting. If I don't just keep making more of them.
