These aren’t really a set of deer blind plans as much as they are an idea. With a deer blind this simple, you don’t really need a set of deer blind plans.

The idea is that you use what you have around you to build a blind on the spot.

This doesn’t mean that the blind is of poor quality. I’ve felt safer and more concealed in some thrown together ground blinds than I have in some elevated deer blinds. Another advantage to a ground blind made from local foliage is that a deer won’t recognize it as a threat. If you throw up an OSB box blind, it will take several weeks/months for deer to become use to it and not perceive it as a threat. But, a blind built from the local timber and foliage will be good to go the very next day.

One such deer blind is built by gather a dozen or so straight trees, about 4-6 feet in length. Lay the trees out and mesh them together with twine, much like a chain link fence is held together. Leave any small branches on the trees that are about 6″ to 12″ in length. Gather a bunch of local foliage, brush, pine bows, etc… and weave them through the branches and twine. Now you can sharpen the bottom edges of the trees and stick them into the ground in a circle and bend them in to make a tee pee. And ta da, you have a nice ground deer blind that won’t spook the deer, is easily transportable, and will last all seasons. Deer blind plans don’t get much simpler than that!

A lot of people have been looking for a set of deer blind plans for building a 4×8 or 4×6 deer blind. These blinds aren’t just good for 2 people who hunt together in the same stand. They are also nice to lay down in and take a nap while you wait for some deer to show up.

Most people stick with 4×4 deer blinds just because it is so easy to put together since OSB comes in 4×8 panels. An entire blind can be built with just 5 pieces, one for each wall and one for the roof/floor.

It gets a bit more expensive to buy the parts for a 4×8 blind. They are also harder to transport since the pieces would be larger.

But if anyone has any deer blind plans they are willing to share for making a 4×8 blind, comment or send me an e-mail and I’ll put them up on the site.

Thanks.

I hope to have a forum up soon so anyone can simply post their deer blind plans there. Until I get a forum up though, if anyone has any deer blind plans that they would like to share, you can simply leave a comment on one of the posts on this blog, or e-mail me at ericihli at gmail.com.

Many thanks to those of you who have already shared some plans.

Please make sure you have permission from the owner of the plans to post them here. I wouldn’t want anyone to get in trouble for copyright infringement or anything.

As well as deer blind plans, I’m also looking for some deer feeder plans and any other deer related building plans.

We just released a new set of deer blind plans. You can check them out over at the Deer Stand Plans homepage.

We have 9 of these stands over at our deer lease in Texas and they are great. It only takes about 15 minutes to build the deer blind once you get all the panels assembled. Everything fits neatly in the bed of a pickup for easy transport.

We are constantly updating the plans and you’ll get free updates for life as well as a satisfaction guarantee.

If you have been looking for a good set of deer blind plans or if you need a deer blind and haven’t yet considered building your own, check out these deer stand plans. It costs less than $140 in supplies and the entire construction time is less than 3 hours.

All right, here is the 2nd part of the gallery of deer blind images I started before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next I just need to build the 4 walls of the blind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In this next photo, I’ve got the deer blind built completely and I just need to do a little bit of touch-up and add some windows to the deer stand.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And below is the finished deer blind, with hinged windows and everything.

Here is an image gallery of the process of putting up a very large deer blind.

Step 1 is to get the foundation of your deer blind down.  For this I am using 4″ x 4″ legs braced with 2×4 supports.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Extend them to the height that you need.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add more bracing and support.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once the outline of the deer blind plans gets finished, start adding the walls of the deer blind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Part 2 of these plans will soon follow.
