I got to check out the Worlds Tallest Deer Blind (w/ pics!)

[Cam-Mac]

This past weekend my brother and I and two friends went to see some family of his in-laws. They run a ranch Southeast of Ennis. We went to hang out and check out their place, etc. Several years ago they purchased a "Lookout Tower" from the Dept of Forestry (I think that was it), and put it up on their place. Of course I wasn't brave enough to climb to the top, but my brother took the camera and climbed it. The windows don't actually open far enough to shoot out of, but you could shoot off the top landing if you wanted. Imagine the shot angles that you would have to account for, lol. The box sits at about 135 feet off the ground. That's about 130' too high for me .

We look like ants- it'd be hard to hit a deer!

Wow. Way to many steps to have to walk up and down especially hauling all your hunting stuff up there with you.

[HUNTnTAIL]

you would have to pay me to get in that thing and how bout the 300yd shots when it would normally be 100yd

[ffparadavis]

awesome! That would be fun to sit up there and just see whats moving around your whole place and the neighbors

I just couldn't do it. I would get half the way up and cling on to a step.
