Lol Danny. Reminds me of my uncle, he always just carried a fold up chair with him wherever he hunted. Killed a lot of deer out of it. He's about got to old to go now

My in-laws built two of those elevated shacks on a hillside overlooking the thick 40 acres we hunt. I wasn't excited about them very much, but we killed a lot of nice deer out of them.
Deer got use to them pretty quick. They were not more than 15 feet high and not camouflaged at all. All of your random movements are hidden from the deer. They will keep you in the woods longer, and you won't use the excuse of bad weather to stay in bed in the morning.
Here's a some tips for you.
Whatever you decide what size to make them, add 2 feet in every direction.
Add carpet to the floor. Those shacks resonate sound big time.
Make a shooting bench at the widow sill in front of the big window in the front.
Have shootable windows on the other 3 sides.

I've actually thought about that Danny, because we can never hunt that spot in the morning because the deer are in the field and you bust them out so it's always been an evening stand.
