So I like my pop up stand location but I'm not a fan of the Horizontal window especially shooting downhill a little. It forces you to shoot in a sort of crouch to get high enough to aim down.
Also I use a floor to keep me comfortable up off the ground about 6 inches. I discovered last year the skunks like the home I made for them under the floor and even got into a bit of a tug-o-war with one in the pitch dark one morning. He was trying to pull the fabric of the blind under to pad his nest.
Here is my solution. I made a front wall to fit inside the blind so I can mount a pair of DeerView Windows. I also gives me a shelf for my cup'a'Joe and bino's as well as a video camera mount that doesn't require a tripod to get in the way.
When I actually set it up I'll screw it to the floor and staple around the perimeter to keep the critters out and remove the hub from the front wall and staple the fabric to the new front wall and cut out for my windows. Voila' Best of Both Worlds.
