Mega Tank Blind Build

The blinds are in the air! It took a forklift to load them onto the trailer, and 8 guys to hoist them up and slide the legs in place once we got them to the lease. It was about 150 degrees outside on Saturday, so I did not take any pictures, but I will take some when I’m down there in a few weeks to fill up feeders. I tucked both of them way back into a clump of cedars, so they are practically invisible when looking at them from the feeder. According to the Sypoint, I had deer and hogs eating in front of them within 8 hours of us putting them up, so they must not mind the blinds too much.
The only thing left to do is trim out some shooting lanes.

Made it down for a final work day before the opener. I got the shooting lanes trimmed at both tank blinds. I also finished up the “snipers nest”. We built a decked platform 15’ up a giant oak tree, screwed down a seat, and wrapped the whole thing in camo netting. You are just about invisible up there.

Hey Mark
Would you build them again knowing the work that you had to put into them? Reason I'm asking is I have the chance to get a 10' wide by at least 12' tall tank for free. I've been following your thread. Only change I may make is a trap door entrance. Great looking blind build that should last a lifetime.

I would do it again. The trap door is a good idea. My door is the weakest point of my blind and does not seal up real well. If I did it again, I would frame a square door from 2x6s like I did for the windows, and use a pre made door from Deerview.
