Used to see good deer out that way mountrail county still holds the non typical nd record in nd. Believe it or not its a good county but problem is she is posted tight an thats what it takes to get big whitetail. Also freaking 12,000 oil well dosnt help.

Their is started shed the size you want to be finished by valley city on Facebook market place. They add up quick I just bought few used ones put they not too big. Sounds like grand idea we all thankful for those that give back. I try when I can feels good. I bought mine up higher like too see more built legs for it and haul on trailer to spot, use tractor to setup

KDM, I build alot of blinds for people.
Important. Keep a good overhang on the eaves and gable ends.
Once done, build a real smokey smudge fire with moist grass/ leaves inside. If smoke leaks out, bugs can get in!.
100% spray foam if you can swing the $.

1 froth pack, (350.00$) will easily do it.
Small woodstove. Won't condensate windows like propane.

If using plywood for sheathing, whip up a 5 gallon bucket of real MUD, like dirt! Muddy dirt.
Paint it on. Really.
Once it dries into the grain of the plywood, it's sets up HARD and repels water great. Plus it's such a natural color tone.
Windows, I build my own. I'll keep that secret to myself. (Grin).
But they swing in and sideways.

For sure, insulted the floor at least.
Use cheap carpet for floors and walls. Dark color.

So much more to add to this on how I do them but I'm on about beer #7 now and I'm loosing track. Lol.
Good to see you back.

I have three of those sheds built by the guy by tower city and they are super nice. WELL BUILT 16 on center 2x4 walls and rafters and nicely finished all around. I Highly recommend these sheds!!! They are heavy however and where I want the stand is a beotch to get to with any kind of rig including a 4 wheeler so I'm stuck with a build on site kind of thing, but that's where the deer are. Go figure. Thanks for the response though.

I hear ya that’s why I bought used ones the home built get heavy. Got friend put his on old wagon frame with big steel wheels pulls it with 4 wheeler

I would love to be able to just take one of those sheds and put it where I want, but just getting those things off the trailer and set in the yard was a job. I can only imagine trying to put one where this blind is going. I don't think the building would survive the twisting and turning, not to mention the crazy fools trying to put it there.

Your going to love sitting in a nice big blind Kurt! I have a couple shadow hunter blinds that I really like.Mine are octagon with vertical archery windows in the corners and horizontal rifle windows on the sides. Carpeted floor, steel sided and roof and insulated. Like others have said make sure windows are sitting down height. I put one on a snowmobile trailer I got for free, it's pretty handy moving it to other spots. I'm a huge ozonics believer with the sealed up hunting blind never leave home without it. Using it we can hunt the stand no matter what the wind. Just put it out the open window. Shelves are nice to have. I fold out shooting bench for rifles would be sweet. If not use a death grip tripod. I just use a single little buddy heater on low heats it right up. Quite quite window operation is a must. Curtains are handy also. Have fun with your project bud, the kids will love it as well!

My buddy just built this dandy.

KDM, if you ever want a hand building them, let me know. I'm in your neck of the woods and have a couple young kids (6yrs and 3yrs old) that could potentially end up killing a deer out of them in the future. Thank you for doing this by the way.

Drop me a PM. Another pair of eyes, a helpful soul, and a discerning mind are ALWAYS welcome.

Some nice blinds, mine are pretty redneck in comparison. Being on the ground I have no floors(quieter and warmer), and use a post hole auger for the corners. I dig in the first row of garage doors(which are cut to length with a metal blade sawzall).

Heres the layout of one i was hoping to build for bowhunting and rifle hunting depending on windows. I hate the corners on the square 8x8 blind i built and how the windows line up because of the corners, seems like i'm always dealing with that blind spot. the 8x8 i have is plenty big for 2-4 people. I put carpet in it and a shelf for bipod or bags for rifle to rest on. also added a couple homemade clamp on gun barrel holders. got a couple rolling office chairs from the curb during cleanup week. Also hung some camo burlap over the windows so i can limit what can see in if i want. This one should be big enough for me and another adult or two kids. I still have some tweaks to do to it and can always scale up for going bigger. I picked up some of the elevator brackets for 4x4 legs as well.

I'm gonna get flack for the price, but consider tinning it. Protects wood against the elements and then you really have a long term solution. Especially on the roof. I used the siding to hang over for a gable end to protect sideways moisture that we tend to get here from time to time. Other than that, P2000 insulation and 18" slider windows does the job for me. Oh and a cheap storm door from menards did the trick for me. Plus gets you a bonus window that you can black out with a towel if you wish.

On the window topic - magnetic blackout coverings are nice. Leave them up on the window the sun in shining in to keep the interior dark and hide movement. Muddy also made an adhesive perforated camo one way window tint. Never used it but looked good in the store. The deer definitely will see movement in the windows.

The octagon shape is a bit of a pain on the construction side, but it's really nice for eliminating blind spots. My son and I built this one in our garage last winter, and moved it out there in the spring.

I've since added curtains (black felt) and marine carpet. I think I will add a carpet pad as the floor is still a bit loud.
I hunted out of it for the first time last weekend (SD opener) and filled both my landowner tags. Man was that satisfying.
