I finally acquired a shipping crate with 4 walls and a lid that was 4'W X 8'L X 6'H. 1/2" plywood on 3 6X6 skids ! Cut a door in, made 3 windows that slide with Plexiglas, camo paint job and some blue board insulation and a propane heater and a chair I'm good to go ! The hike to the blind can het a little chilly but hey you got to have a wilderness experience right !! And to make it worse the Gay Bar is only about 3 miles away !!

You know, I was thinking the same thing, I'll just spend my winters down there, they can forward my calls to Mississippi.

The bush is so thick up here we sit over bait piles of apples, carrots, beets etc. You can't move around, some folks hunt power lines in their areas but I've got a open area about 75 yrds away from the blind so I just sit and wait in comfort !

Mississippi would be damn nice during the winter !! I spent a couple of months down there after Katrina overseeing contracts and it sure was nice and a very pretty area even with the damage !
My stand is about 14' high, 4 walls about 36" tall so I can see over them sitting in a chair, but no roof. It is very, very comfortable - except that it's in the open, so wind and weather get me. In the past several years, I haven't gotten all that cold, but this past winter just got to me. So I'm hoping my sleeping bag works much like those expensive Heater Body Suits.
Yep looks like me missing out on the little ones, those ones are tender.
