*DIY Deer Lease Cabin Build*

[Backwoods101]

Our first priority last summer/fall was to get insulation up in the walls and ceiling and dry it all in. We got the majority of it all complete minus a 1/4 of the ceiling. With the wood burning stove rockin', it stayed around 60 degrees on the coldest night we were out there. The year before however, you could definitely hang meat in there.

Great thread and awesome looking camp. How many acres are y'all hunting on and were you able to get a long term contract? Updated pics?

It's roughly 800 acres. Our contract is basically a cowboy handshake. We keep the place clean and give no reason to be asked to leave.

I scored us a bunch of chain link fencing from a baseball field remodel I worked on. The landowner also leases a portion of the property for cattle (which is on the side where the cabin is located). So one weekend in the near future, we will be fencing off around the cabin. Also, plans are in the works for remodeling the existing cabin into a lounge/card room.
