Grandpa's Deer Stand. A comfortable spot for Grandpa or anyone else to sit when its cold.

  • Grandpa always wanted to put up a stand in this nice ridge of trees overlooking the swamp. The area has deer trails and a great view. The stand is 4 feet by 6 feet and is 6 and a half feet tall. Big enough so a person can stand up and stretch when sitting inside. The chair is a directors style chair, it is the exact type that he used during duck hunting. Grandpa said it was a nice height and had good support. Also inside a Buddy Heater. Grandpa (and me also ) get pretty chilly sitting in the deer stand. The heater will be a nice addition on the cold windy days. The windows have plywood covers that slide up and down to keep out rain, leaves, pine needles, and also on a windy day it will keep the wind out. Next year we plan on staining, painting, or possibly installing some green tin to the outside to weather proof it. Hopefully this stand holds strong and is a nice warm spot for anyone that wants to use it. The longer "Deer Stand Weekend" video is being edited now. Stay tuned.

    The blind is easy to put up and take down. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxvlQxmcZQzSQSYbJsEgAGvG2DaduKTV99 As a female hunter, the ease of placing and setting up the blind is a plus. It’s more of a wind barrier than a warm quilted blind. Which makes it a lot lighter than our quilted blind. I enjoyed the larger windows/openings. Made for a successful season. It has held up well for the first season and the stitching looks good.

    It’s awesome y’all built him a nice stand but go one step farther this year, sit in it with him on a hunt and let him tell you some stories, let him know how much he means to y’all. As a grandfather myself, I hope one day my son and grandson build me a stand like this too and I’d like for them to come sit with me and spend the day talking.

    I don’t know if you’ve considered it, and maybe I’m just too much of a softy- but, on our stands we’ve always made tracks with little wood strips against the outside of the walls- and slid pieces of lexan panel in them, to slide shut over the window openings in windy weather. Deer can come from anywhere, I suppose, and that’s why you wouldn’t want them shut. But, keeping out the 10 degree wind on a chilly day helps me have more fun during deer season, as I usually only have my rifle aimed out whatever side the deer frequent the most. 🙂 great deer stand for grandpa, Zach!!
