Thanks for watching.

Every time...

The older you get, the more comfortable you want to be. I'm at that age where I only take TROPHY deer, unless the freezer is empty. I'm not a "brown, it's down" guy. I've been hunting for over 40 years, and I actually want to build a blind that I can sleep in - comfortably. I don't need electricity, but I damn-sure do need warmth.

The day the build starts.

My dad loved it he was 82 years old

Thanks for the comment.

Yes it’s a great memory maker because the grandkids can’t hold still, stay warm or be quiet. This solves all the problems!

Thank you for watching.

@@kyraleigh9816 that's what most people who do not have a blind say... It's ok to be jealous just don't be mean at the same time...

@@kyraleigh9816 I never realized it was as easy as just "goin for a walk n killn one" ???😯 I guess I've been doin it all wrong all these years....

@Ojibwa62 x most places do not have enough land to track one down for miles.I have done it though and if is a great way to hunt.

Thank you so much for the comment glad you liked it GUY ATWOOD.

Thank you for the comment Burnin' Daylite.

Thank you for watching and glad you like them I will work hard to bring good clean videos to all thanks Stacie Youngblood.

i agree with stacie :)

Hi Stacie, if I knew on how to make You-Tube videos, I would make a video of my blind , and wish you can see mine cause I think you would like my blind just as much.

Thanks for watching and the comment.

Thanks for watching J Martin.

About the only time when I camp in mine is when I cannot get a hotel room in that town during hunting season, which happens from time to time.

Loved your work with the Vikings Brad. Good times.

Thanks for the comment.

Thank you Gary.

Thank you for the comment.

Wow sounds awesome

That's a tiny house !

@Some 1poisoned the water hole it’s on private property. You can do what you want.

I won't fault the guy for doing it his way but that's a shooting house not a blind. There is no hunting involved.

@Fenrir wait til you get my age, all crippled up with arthritis and can’t take the cold anymore. I still love deer hunting as much as I did when I was wet behind the ears. You will change your tune. I guarantee it.

Stephen Brandner did you ever have any luck with the hunt ?

Thank you James happy hunting be safe.

Thanks BTHaney.

I use a ladder stand and love it thanks for the comment larry seliger.

Fellow Wisconsin resident here.... In my opinion, it depends... I want to take kids hunting when they are a little bigger and am thinking of building something like this so I can introduce them to hunting. But that being said, nothing beats sitting out on a ladder stand or in a ground blind and hearing and seeing everything nature has for you.

Northwoods Acres - Do them a real favor. Take them out in the woods and talk to them quietly about deer hunting and it's history in Wisconsin. Talk to them about deer behavior. Talk to them about deer habitat. But most importantly let them get cold and bored to the point where they listen to every sound and smell every scent. Let them learn just how cold cold is for a mammal in the winter and teach them how miraculous it is that a deer survives at all without a wall to hide behind. And when they get too cold, build them a little fire with dry pine and toast a sandwich over it. My favorite is summer sausage, cheese and mayo - that sooty sandwich will be something else that gives them memories that will last for the rest of their lives.

I am not discounting sitting outside... I love it and have done it my whole hunting life. But both types of hunting are real hunting. There are times when it would be nice to focus on shooting skills, spotting skills, and all the things that happen after you make the shot. I often hunt in 10 degrees below zero Fahrenheit weather with a wind chill of -20 or more. I sit out, literally all day in the cold. Heck, we even camp in zero degree weather. So I appreciate you demonstrating your man skills by commenting what a real hunter apparently is, but there is so much more to hunting than showing how manly you are by letting your kids get frost bite. Sitting and waiting is literally the coldest part of hunting, and I am not sure where you come from, but in some parts of the country, it does actually get dangerously cold. When I am training a kid in hunting, I want them to focus on certain areas and not have their attention drawn away by the pain of intense cold. If I bring a 10 year old out and it is -10 or -20 degrees, how long do I really get to sit with them? We'd be heading in within the hour. If I can control one factor (blocking the wind), I can bring them out with me, show them how I watch and listen for animals, show them how I fire my gun or bow, etc. Then, when it is time to retrieve the animal, they can come out with me and stay warm because they are working hard at that point. My kids are not even old enough to hunt yet, but they are not wimps and they possess many skills I wish other hunters had. They help with the butchering, they regularly spend vast amounts of time in the cold, in the woods. They've run into bears at night while taking care of our animals. They often point out animal tracks, scat and trails to me that they have found and they identify the type of animal. To say that they cannot be "real hunters" unless they are unprotected from the wind is kind of missing the point: that hunting is something bigger than where you shoot from.

larry seliger I totally agree

You are 100% right Jeff thank you.

Jeff Sartain what does it mean riding her broom

Jeff Sartain a whole week eveey month!

Awesome!

@@fisher-ph7ll your kiddn right???!!

Thank you Jeff.

It works for me and it is warm Mak 90 thank you for the comment.

@@BrianGLee-bc7hj Nothing better than a good game of Euchre.

Thank you for the comment.

Thanks for watching BigDog.

Thank you Albert.

Thank you for watching Fumbles.

Look at yard sales and flea markets.

Thanks Brette

Thank you Mario one day.

thank you Butch

the more comfortable you are the longer you can stay.

It could be a cabin.

I am 49 years old and the cold is to cold for me thanks for watching Ranch.

Im glad you enjoyed the video, hunting with our parents or kids is something we will never forget it was always a good time. thanks for watching.

I drive around in my truck and shoot crows, coyotes, rabbits, and what-not. I put the heat on when it's cold and the air conditioning when it's hot. I drive into town for a cuppa coffee when I'm thirsty. When I need to take a leak, the whole outdoors is my toilet. It all works out pretty good.

@@jeffheff9811 that's what I'm talking about brother, respect the wildlife & hunt however you enjoy it best.

Thank you all for the comments be safe and have fun.

@@Robinson-Homestead your welcome Kevin, thanks for sharing your deer house with us. Hope you have an enjoyable season.

Thanks for watching silverdack802.

Hunting out of this blind would make me feel like I'm hunting out of my camp itself. Shot a six point from the bathroom window while I was sitting on the crapper. It's not a blind it's a dwelling. lol

Thank you my friend.

Thank you lloyd jarvis for the good comment my friend.

wade morris lol

wade morris how ghetto you sound. Hahaha

lloyd jarvis yeah that's what I was thinking hunting in the wind and freezing your ass off gets old after you do it for a few years.

Thank you for watcing and the comment.

You have some good videos keep up the good work.

Thanks Kevin glad I stumbled onto your channel😊👍

Thanks for watching and the comment.

Thank you for the nice comment EC.

Thanks and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Used to say the same kind of things on my younger days. Many years ago my dad got so sick and almost died as a result from getting ammonia and the flu from being outside deer hunting in all cold type of temperatures etc..., is when he quit hunting. If he had a heated blind this probably would of not happened to him.Ever since I built a heated blind as good as this one, weeks later I never not got the flu, or sick etc.... after hunting season like I use to many times. And 1 of my aunts is a retired nurse. She said a few weeks after deer hunting season is when she would see a major rise of hunter's coming down with the flu etc.... But with me I can handle any type of outside weather as long as if I am moving around.

no he wasn't hunting he was giving a tour. that is not just for hunting as he said it's also a lil getaway.

So maybe he should use a stick and wear leaves now that's traditional

Looks awesome to me I hunt everything really cool

ya comfort is good Thanks ken1lane.

Thank you for the comment.

Thanks for the comment Mike.

Smart hunter blind !!! Hell, yea

You will love it.

I did that the older you get the colder you get and if I take my grandkids they will be safe and warm thank you for the comment Jacob.

Jacob Reeves as we get older we like the Creature Comforts. I've become accustomed to a few luxuries I really like. living indoors and eating. I consider myself successful. I started my life with nothing and I still have most of it left.

I agree. How can you feel any sense of accomplishment taking a deer from basically a cabin on stilts? NOT for me.

No. I do hunt with an arrow though...sort of a sharpened stick. Also hunt deer/elk with an iron sighted handgun. On my FEET...WALKING. Not sitting in my living room, waiting for a deer to happen by. I just think stands like that are sad. HOW can a guy get any satisfaction about taking an animal that way?

Jacob Reeves seems like it's more for drinking beer and getting away from the wife. what happened to hunting these days?! what happened to hiding out in the cold like the REAL men did without your entire home comforts with you?! guys are gettin pussified more and more.

Thank you for the comment know more freezing for me and I can now take my grandkids.

Cody Little, it's not your place to define how others should do the things they enjoy.

Cody little is just jealous because he can’t afford bullets or a gun to hunt with

Cody Little is your typical asswipe. You hunt in , that is IF you hunt, in your stand in the elements and keep your fucked up hatein' comments to yourself and let this gentleman hunt however the hell he wants to. Myself Kevin, I think you're spot on !! I too, get cold and hate ta get damp or wet and cold so my stand is very similar to yours

Cody Little searched for hunting in the dictionary and nowhere it said hunter had to be cold or miserable

Thanks for the comment.

David Johnson actually I have cooked eggs and bacon deer hunt in a normal box stand that was built wind was blowing through it and everything and the smell of eggs and bacon cooking does not disturb the deer hell i'm a chainsmokers and I Killdeer all the time smoking a cigarette.

I shot many deer out of my heated blind. And I learned on my enclosed heated blind after I built it the deer really don't smell you, like if your hunting outside.

Thanks for the comments Addison good luck on your build.

It makes it easier for sure.

Reason on why I have a heated blind like this one is cause I used to get sick 2 or 3 weeks later with the flu every year after deer season. Now ever since I built this heated blind, something like this blind I never get sick with the flu after deer season any more.

an how do you get to where you choose to hunt? walk from home? I don't think so! shit I've shot deer,skunks,coyotes etc while sittin on the deck having morning coffee. as he said it aint just for hunting from.
