Anyone know where I can buy some that are decent?

I usually build my own but I just bought 300 acres on the Amite near the Mississippi line.

I bought a little buck from Ranch King blinds and couldnt be happier. No wasps, no critters, water tight and quiet. I never thought I would buy a nice blind like that (for me it is nice, for others it is on the cheap side) but I love hunting in it.

Absolutely kills cell service though.

they are all over. I bought mine here in Alexandria at Floors Unlimited....I dont remember the price but they are right at 2k. I want to say I was a little less than that, and that was with the 8 foot tower. You can put it up with a few guys off a trailer, but if you have forks on a tractor it makes it soooooo much easier.

I know a guy who has some Galvanized Steel ones for sale for $750. 60 yr usable life, 4'x6' box, 12' total height, weigh 150 lbs. You provide skin material.

I've bought several recently and built two of my own for my place in Arkansas.

I have bought the Terrain box stands (available at TSC, cabelas, online, everywhere). Pretty good bang for your buck. I found them for a deal at $450 online, I think they are usually 500-600. I was pleased. They are cheap and loud but I built a platform and carpeted it and it serves its purpose. I have been pleased.

The ones I built, I spent probably $500 on materials. It was fun but honestly not worth the bang for the buck. The work well.

Before my dad passed, right when we got the property, we got two Antler Shed Box stands. They were $1500 a piece. very expensive, but those mfers are nice. I would recommend for someone that could drop the money on them.

I'm sure he would take more for them if offered. It's an offshoot of a local company doing steel stud and track rollforming. Here is a youtube video of a similar machine, Steel Rollforming. Company here is going to use it to pre-fab apartment unit pods.

I've got 4 of these and like them. The only problem is if it's cold and you fire up a heater inside it will sweat with water dripping off the roof inside.

The co-op in Tyler town ms, has the sportsman condos (sc2) for just under $1000, have not found them any cheaper, we have several and like them, although you will spend a few hundred extra on the materials

Have a family member that gets those 300gallon totes. He makes a one person or two person stand out of them by cutting the top off and joining them together. Keeps the metal basket only on the bottom. Works good and he gets the totes free.

Here’s another vote for Lazyman in Cabot, AR.

Available in lots of places now. Donnie is a great guy.

Other problem is squirrels like chewing them. If you get a sportsman condo, do not put it where squirrels can access from a nearby tree.

Check either the Pike or Amite county coops. Whichever is closer.

I remember back when I had the Facebook shite there was a guy who always popped up in my feed. He fabbed the box frame and towers out of 1x1 square tubing. They were very reasonably priced. I'll borrow the wife's phone and see if I can find it.


eta: search Eric Terro from Church Point, La.
