Man, Imold; you have mad distance and good elevation out every window! Those yotes don't stand a chance! That really is an awesome set-up you have there. You've really done a great job!

 

[Imold]

I just need the right tool for the job, I could use my Bulldog which would have no issue getting a yote but that's not the PCP I want to use but luckily yotes are legal all year round.

The RAW HM 1000x is much more accurate than the Bulldog, out to 150 yds.

 

[Imold]

Yep and that's why I'm waiting so calmly,patiently, now where the h e double hockey sticks is my HMx hahaha ok I'll calm down but again that's why I'm waiting besides I've already committed the Bulldog to the arrows that are coming out in a few more days, hopefully P.A will be sending me a email around the 20th saying my pre order is in.

imold where are ya putting the new home up ? what view?

 

[Imold]

"Hynzie"imold where are ya putting the new home up ? what view?

We will build where the trailer is,it's running east and west and my property goes about another 100 feet north behind the trailer so it will not interfere with my shooting range, the back of the trailer is where the east side of my house will start and go west. The house will be about 34 feet x 60 feet with a attached 26x34 foot garage so the length will be 86 feet, the house will be running the same direction as the trailer. I'm only putting in a foundation no basement being it will be our retirement home and will still have our lake home we live in now being that's payed off and if our children don't rent it from us we will just shut it down for the winter and save on the fuel and electrical bills.

 

[Imold]

If you can see the red container in the pic behind my trailer that will be the South East corner on my home or very close.

 

[Imold]

When I go out shooting with the 500 Royale tomorrow I'll take a pic of what you'll be seeing from my living room window from a cameras point of view..Should add that pics don't do the property justice because you don't get the full view of what's on the property as far as the woods go.

Imold, nice box blind. I am no carpenter either, but your work looks good to me. Good idea giving yourself extra room for moving, napping, etc. That's when the carpet floor will be nice. Ha.

Maybe I'm spooked by these hurricanes, but you might prepare for wind with something called hurricane straps. Really simple, cheap attachments between legs and box. Trailer tie-downs too, maybe. Easier than trying to tip that thing back up! Hope you never need them in your part of the country.

I'm on the north side of a lake and the wind gets really strong coming across the lake sometimes so when I built my garage I used hurricane straps for the roof to wall attachment, we had a bad storm about a month ago and had straight line winds a bit over 60mph and with all the damage my garage stood strong so I'm a believer in using those straps when the situation calls for them, I did think about putting some indoor outdoor carpet in there but I don't want it to feel to comfortable I might fall asleep and miss a good shot. 6ft x 8ft is a nice size deer stand for sure, heck there are stands around here with small porches(3ftx8ft)on them with railings.
