Default 4' x 6' Box Blind ????

Why build a 4' x 6' box blind ??? Just won't to share a tip from someone who's built several... The 4' x 5' box blinds work a lot better... IF your only going to hunt with one (1) person in the blind... When hunting if you sit in the center of the blind the 4' x 5' gives exactly enough room to put your gun out each side window and let it rest on the box comfortably... You also have the same comfortable rest when you put your gun ot the front window to make a shot as well... If it is 6' wide you sometimes find yourself being to far away from the window to have a rest that is comfortable and stable... This is just a little food for thought... Another thing to keep in mind... You don't need to put your stand 10' off the ground... They work just as well if they are six inches to 4 feet of the ground... This way you can put a set of walk up steps on the back and not have to climb steps when it is cold, wet, and icey conditions... Paint the inside a flat black with dark browns and dark greens to help breakup the outline of the hunter inside the blind... It helps a lot... Oh, and put a chair in it that is comfortable and does not squeek when you sit down or move.. Good luck on your hunting season...
