Now that my food plot is planted, I've started work on my deer blind. I'm calling it "Over the Top" because I'm going to make it allot nicer then what most would expect ouf of a deer blind. Based on my drawings and, Steph and I are already joking about renting it out and how often her Dad will spend the night in it.
My goal is to make it nice enough for the two of us, buy easily 4 people, to spend the day in it and be comfortable. I've left blinds before because I was just too cold to care anymore. This time, that will not be an issue.
Another important consideration is that when the RV Park opens, I'll be able to easily convert it over to part of the kids playground. Some parts of it won't make any sense at all if you didn't know this.
For those that have been here, the location of the blind is between my food plot/pasture and Lake Marabou. With all the tracks and activity that we get around the lake, I want to be able to see it at the same time I'm watching the food plot. At the far end of my food plot is my corn feeder. Mostly hogs eat the corn, but with about 3/4 of an acre planted in oats and peas, things could get interesting.
These pics are of the area after a few late evenings of tree removal. I would take out a few with my backhoe, then drag them to the burn pile with a chain. It's slow going, but eventually, it works.
