Deer Stand

wisconsin deer stand, heated with forced air camper furnace, insulated, and wired for 12vdc. Please hit the subscribe button. I recently added this heater amzn.to/3TW6Whv

[@daveevans7438]

We built a few of these on our property in northern Michigan. Been there for over 20 years, still look great and nice to set in. We painted ours black on the inside and wore black clothing. That light bare plywood will silhouette you, and they will notice movement. We also hung draps over the windows and opened them as needed. But it looks awesome, and I know it's nice to set in. We actually considered them two men blinds. Being up in the air with that much area to cover, it's almost too much for one hunter. P.S. Unless you already have done it. We drilled a 1" hole in the bottom and ran a short piece of garden hose down the leg and mounted a large funnel inside for a urinal. 👍

[@tomselick6983]

I know some people are going to hate on this but sometimes a place like that is exactly what u need, Sunday evening after a hard windy weekend of -10 Fahrenheit Im sooo wishing I had that

[@ctwoods99]

Thanks for the great comment, the stand is awesome after a day of walking or when it's raining

[@Gokywildcats11]

That's a get away stand. And get your mind right

[@StealthTRD]

One thing i love about hunting is getting away from everything such as tv, electronics and actually fitting into the elements.

[@ctwoods99]

Most of my friends have the same feeling, they are not big fans of the deer stand but I do spend a good amount of time walking with them throughout the season.

[@nickfish3545]

Not a deer stand that’s a cabin but I like the concept of being able to drink until you pass out without falling out the tree or freezing. I could do without lights and tv and espresso machine lol but that’s pretty cool

[@themedhunter]

Super cool set up! I have started hunting out of an 8x8 blind and spend the night routinely. I am actually going to put an addition on this year that sleeps 2! Thanks for sharing and good luck next season!

[@squirrellyacres]

You have made deer hunting very comfortable for yourself.

[@bwcok7947]

We had squirrel problems chewing all over. Flashing (brown) from the bottom & up the sides 24"s worked best. One side wall corner for some reason was attracting them so we ran a corner piece of flashing from top to bottom and no more chewing for a year now. Bees and flies but that was expected. Cheap USB Fans with a long power cord hanging on the ceilings proved to work the best in the mornings to keep the windows clear and they are super quiet and run forever with very little power draw. Good luck shoot straight!

[@ctwoods99]

Thanks. No issues with squirrels but the bears like to chew on the legs.

[@FrednDeeDee]

Hey Clinton, now that's a deer stand. I used to hunt off the back deck of the house getting served food and coffee by my Sweetie Pie when we lived up in Pennsylvania. Then we moved to Florida, and I just can't get used to deer hunting in 84-degree temps battling mosquitos. I'd have to build an airconditioned deer stand just for starters. We still hit the deer woods on our lounge chairs and spend the days in the outdoors.

[@ctwoods99]

I'd have a hard time hunting in Florida, I don't think I could deal with the heat. I'd probably have to add a pool to my stand.

[@Pendragon501]

That's highly illegal. My sister's former landlord in PA got busted for doing the exact same thing. Lost his hunting license for 8 years.

[@4shink]

If that was located in California you could rent it for $2,500 per month!

[@Arouth249]

Lol true

[@ctwoods99]

come to Wisconsin, it can be yours for only $2,000 per month

[@UncleBucks]

Just a suggestion.... bolt some grab handles on the wall above the trap door so you can hang on when stepping down. Trap doors are stealthy but they scare the heck out of me when climbing down, especially on low light conditions. Awesome blind you built there and this is a nice video tour of it 👍🏻

[@ctwoods99]

That's a great idea. I think I have some garage door handles that would work for that.

I agree, nothing like being comfortable and relaxing. And if I get luck the big one will walk past. My success rate is similar to my friends that hang from the side of the trees, I'm sure I'd have better luck with better cover but comfort has a price and I'm willing to pay it.

[@beefieschannel8955]

what did you do to the furnace to have it light with the low fan speed? What is the size on this stand?

[@ctwoods99]

I had to jumper out the fan pressure switch, I still have the high temp cutout in place. I was able to turn the fan speed down to about 25% before the pressure switch would cut the main burner so jumping it probably wasn't necessary. I also wouldn't recommend doing this unless you're sitting next to your furnace while it's running, things can get very hot and you only have the high temp switch left for protection. The stand is 5x8 and the ceiling height is about 6ft 6in. I like the size but 4x8 would have saved a lot of money. money.

[@cha-ka8671]

Just get a Double Buddy heater and the propane tank adapter. That thing will for sure roast you. Or do a potbelly small wood stove. They deer don't think anything of the smoke smell.

[@ctwoods99]

I'm cautious with the Buddy heaters, I have one but my stand is so air tight I dont want to fall asleep and get asphyxiated. Also, LP in a non-vented heater steams up the windows quickly.

[@ctwoods99]

I have hooks on the outside just below a window that I hang my cooler on, just for the basics, like bacon, eggs, and some other odds and ends. Bacon gets seriously messy in a room this small so I have changed to grilled ham and cheese with an egg on top.
