I have a spot on a well-used food plot that I intend to build a blind to get a closer shot for a young hunter. We try to baby this spot, as we can reliably see our best bucks in daylight. Up until now, we’ve observed this plot from a ladder stand about 100-150 yards away.
There is an old cattle catch pen with trees around it that would hide a stand somewhat. The blind will be elevated 4-6 feet off the ground — no real need to be very high.
I was thinking about building a wooden stand. Then I thought of the idea of just building the elevated platform and using a pop up blind on top. Would you have concern with the pop up blind, if it’s just put up during the season? Thoughts on the two options?
