We've been working on it all summer and we finally have it up and running. Here are some pics. FYI I put out (11) 5gal buckets of apples last week and they were gone in 4 days. So im hoping that there are some bucks.. My dumb ass forgot the trail cam. So I put one out today and made up a mock scrape 50yds from stand!!!! Buddy heater is going to warm it up cats-ass...

I wouldn't. They will get used to it.

well im still uploading photos. lol.. but yeah its painted black and the entire inside is black as well... The mock scrap I set up with a dripper is about 20 yards behind the feeder.. FYI like I said earlier, the ate (11) 5gal buckets of apples in 4 days at this spot... can't wait, I think i'll be in the stand opening day, as long as temps are below 60...

Looks comfy. Got a name for it yet? "The Bus Stop" "Phone Booth Stand" or maybe "The Portajohn"? The Chicken Coop?

Best of luck this year.

Them steps look like they would get awfully slick with a little rain or snow. Be careful...

Yep, step tape.

Hey BT, that was the plan, We're just waiting on warmer weather here. I don't see it being an issue for me, but I installed the handle rails on both sides for my dad. Just to be safe.

Looks nice, but I think all I would get accomplished in that thing would be sleeping.

Yep, like they said those will definitely get a little slick over time. We have 2 elevated shacks that we put stairs on and they got that way after a couple years. My dad ended up taking a pretty bad spill out of one a while back because of it.
