Here is our newest blind. We sheathed the frame work of an existing tower blind to give us a 7′ x 7′ blind at the base and a single 4′ x 4′ box at the top. This is one on my favorite blinds and I think many hunters will think so as well.
I will be camo painting the blind in the near future as well as adding a few shelves and a gun rack. This makes an existing tower blind a very universal blind and is handicap accessible.
What a great idea Mark! 
Welcome to iDoHunting.com 
and thanks for sharing your modified tower blind. 
That things sweet, I’d never leave it 
good luck and welcome to IDO

That is sweet…. Hey 2-Tall I think with that extra top you could even stand up in this one
Great idea, especially for the hunter with kids along. Thanks for the post and idea! Now all you need is a scent-lok insulation and an outlet for the coffee maker. 
Thanks for all the comments. It was easy to build and a hoot to sit in….I’m 6′ 1″ and there is plenty of head room.
I’m going to work on my wagon wheel shooting lanes next. I have a few spokes cleared now and will cut firewood to create several more.
I’m look forward to doing a few more things to the blind including a vent pipe that will run thought the tower and vent most of the human scent away. I also want to replace the wooden crib doors with Lexan . This way I can see and keep most of the heat in during a cold weather hunt. I use a few Buddy heaters in other blinds I have just to take the chill off a long sit.
great blind thanks for sharing

Just out of view is a swivel seat. You can just make out the green corner of it in the picture.

Here is another blind I built last year….I actually built two of them and hauled them to the woods with snow on the ground.

That looks like a slick unit, do you possibly have any pics of the inside and can I ask about how much did the materials cost you to build it?
Great idea on the bottom blind
I wouldn’t mind having either one those to take the kids out hunting with me, Thanks for sharing

Our archery season began yesterday, but after two hard winters and a healthy coyote population our deer herd population is at it’s lowest since the 1970’s!
We can no longer snare coyote’s in Maine for fear of a Federal lawsuit due to the accidental snaring of Canadian Lynx’x and bald eagle.
The anti’s are holding a law suit threat over our deer population and our Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Dept. are bending over and taking it up the ____!
Sorry to hear the troubles you guys are having out there.

Lets see some other stands and blinds……There must be a slew of them to see from our IDO hunting community….
Lets see them!
Here is a lil fish House that I converted into a deer stand for my aging father that can’t quite cut the cold MN deer hunts after Chemo. Then the other one is a “stump” blind I bought that my lil brother sits in with his Daughter Sierra.

I like it Rob…”Jigging for whitetails”!
this pic is before I brushed it in. it’s sits in a natural thin funnel. bottom 2 pics are view to the east and southeast, respectivly. been a good spot seen a bunch moving through here, the shooter I’m after on this property comes around those big cottonwoods and works his scrape line around the field edge.
