I hunted as a guest this year and they put me in a blind that was probably 6'x10'. It was huge. I sat right in the middle and could see all directions easily but literally had to get up and walk to the window when a deer came out.

I'm gonna build one in the Spring so the grandkids can hunt my plot. It'll be 4x8 outside dimensions so I don't have to rip more OSB than necessary. One side will be 8' tall and the other 7' so we'll have headroom and good roof pitch and only lose 1' of OSB across the back. My biggest obstacle will be getting posts in the ground. It's not very far down to rock.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Here is one we did under construction. 4x6 looks good so far

We built an 8x8 8'high walls with aluminum sliding windows and a steel exterior door unit. It was built about 13'off the ground on power poles. There's plenty of room in it.
Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!

I had 30 of these made out of weatherproof composite material. The only lumber are 4x4 posts and two 2x4s for the ladder. Even the rungs are composite.

nice design Jerry, but I hate those small doors to climb in and out especially if you have a backpack on.

I dont have any pics but we have some nice ones. It helped to have some cabinet builders in the club. 4x6 is plenty big for 2-3 hunters. 10x10 is huge but if your wanting to sleep in it etc then that may be what you need. I will add, if you know where you are going to put it then build the windows accordingly. IE if you are going to put it against a tree line and hunt whats in front of you and beside you then dont put windows behind you. This will prevent deer from sky lining you. Also the windows on the side should be placed a little more forward as to give you a place to hide and not be sky lined from side to side either. Once deer start getting killed, they will look at the houses and you can and will get busted sitting in one if your not careful. Carpeted floors and carpeted shooting rails are nice too. Big doors are a huge plus. I also like the windows in front and beside you to be close together. If your setting it up to cover a big area and long shots are possible then you can use the side windows to help brace the rifle/elbow for a more steady shot. Sun/rain visors over the outside of the windows are really nice to have as well. If you gonna go all out, then go all out right? I would also recommend not setting it right on top of the green field. Also it never hurts to let brush grow up around or in front of the house as to give you some cover and the ability to sneak in while there is deer on the field. Next time I'm down I'll take some pics of some of my favorite houses.
If your decoy doesnt have holes in it, your not letting him get close enough... J.H.

Anyone ever have they're house knocked over by high winds? What do you do to prevent this? concrete foundation, etc. angle the main columns? Mobile home tie downs work good for securing. What is skylining? Is that where they could see your silouette through the window? Yes

nice design Jerry, but I hate those small doors to climb in and out especially if you have a backpack on. Skinny, we came to the same conclusion. Made a design change on the newest version.
