Don't know about any local schools building stands like some in E Texas do. If you have time, check out the cull piles at the lumber yards and the uh-ohs at the paint counter. You can get some pretty decent deals on lumber. It may be a little warped or bowed, but it is just a deer stand. The paint counters will often put a tint in it for you to get the colors drab. Lowes will sell a gallon of oops paint for 5 or 10 bucks.
I also am always on the lookout for good lumber and plywood people throw away. Me and a buddy have built 3 boxes for little to nothing except hardware and legs.
