I I’ve seen several homemade blinds laying just like that after high winds. Gotta anchor them things around here. I’m just a meat hunter, and a poor one at that, I’ll be roughing it in a tree stand.

Built on Truck Axle ...cranks up to haul, lowers down , when in position. Warehouse racking Windows don't Fog. But cost $60 each x6. They shut with pl up shutters at night. My mother in law sewed me camo netting curtains. Held down by 5 or 6 dbl magnets so that don't blow when the inner plexiglass window part is lowered and left open. I built it 5'x7' and 7' high to stand in and be able to stretch. My Dad And I have killed many deer out of it over 10 years. $1,200.00 bucks well worth the money to hunt with my 82 year old Dad

Leave the windows open all the time and hang an old soccer ball from the ceiling. Paint it with camo spray paint but leave a little bit of white. When you hunt take the soccer ball down, now they're used to your head being there.
It's the little things Yes, it helps tremendously. We use balloons on a string and hang them from the ceiling of the blind. Even with windows shut, they will move and the critters get used to them. Same effect as your soccer ball.

I am planing on building a few when building material prices come down a little more. At least one will double for a tree house for my boys. That should get the deer used to movement around it. Nice for those cold raining days you really want to hunt but are getting older and no longer sit out wet and cold tell your lips turn blue and you could not shoot due shaking from cold.

That's how mine looked. Pulled the concreted main post right out of the ground. Think it was an F1. Lol. Want to build another but with lumber prices how they are, I don't know when it will happen.
