I spent a lot of time and money building the blind and never even used it last season due to the mice. Just something about sitting in there in the pitch dark and hearing things running around me kinda skives me out. These are the views from the blind of two different food plots and my heater

Ha! I hear you! Looks like it will be a good set up once you get the mice handled.

What part of what state are you hunting?

Tioga County, Lockwood, NY
I took this buck with the rifle a few years back.

There are some big ones up there, but haven't had the luck of bagging one.

I got this small 8 point with the bow in October this year . Not the biggest rack, but it had a big body. Sorry about the gut pile

Had this monster on the trail cam, but unfortunately, he never showed up during hunting hours, at least not while I was there.

Yep. I’m hoping coming in on the golf cart instead of the atv might give me that little advantage I need. Dave, where in PA do you hunt? I’m on the border of Sayre, PA.

I hunt a piece of woods in Ligonier Pa. It's a little over 100 acres and I have it all to myself.

We hunt over 180 acres. I share it with my three brothers, but only myself and my younger brother really hunt. We just don’t hunt enough.

180 acres is probably nice for 3 guys. Archery especially. Rifle as well when you can do those little "silent pushes".

How are they getting into the stand? It looks like its sealed up pretty good.

I have a 4'X8' stand with 7' front, 6.5' rear ceilings with lexan windows. I made sure it was sealed up as much as possible to prevent bugs, birds, wasps, rodents, etc from getting in. Its been set up for 2.5 years and ive only gotten 2 spiders and one wasp.
