Hmmm. “Creature comforts” in a deer stand. Sumthin’ odd about that.

Wonder how happy he’ll be about it when Obama’s tax mavens hear about it, decide it’s a house, and tax it at three hundred percent, plus interest, fees, and penalties.

This is not about shooting a deer.

This is about escaping a dear.

This is a mancave with a drawbridge. Getting the lazyboy inside will be an effort, but it will be done.

At some point you might as well just go down to the butcher and buy some venison. I mean, is that really “hunting?” Sitting on your ass all day and blowing away Bambi out of an upstairs window with a scoped rifle at spitting distance? Kind of gives me that fishing in the aquarium feeling. Hardly seems sporting. Grab a bow and go still hunting so the furry buggers at least have a chance; it’s not like a guy spending $6k on a stand “hunts” to eat. Oh well...his property and money. Blah, I think my trip to the butcher is more adventurous.

When it’s not hunting season it doubles as his man cave away from his wife.

My son and I built an 11 x 11 foot “cabin in the sky”. We have a woodburning stove, propane cooking stove, propane heater and large windows. For security we built the door in the center of the floor. You have to have a ladder to get up to the padlocked door. I used cedar over plywood in the insulated walls. I chose not to use electricity for aesthetic reasons. We actually camp in it and can keep it plenty warm in sub zero northern Illinois weather.

“The elevated hunting cabin will be first used in anger after deer shotgun season gets under way Nov. 19...”

What does “anger” have to do with anything? Seems like the writer is exposing his biases. He certainly doesn’t know much about hunting.

OMG, you have to read the comments on this thread. I’m laughing so hard, I’m practically in tears.

Highley's plush hunting blind has electricity, heat, a microwave and even a simplified bathroom system.

A knothole?

“...the elevated hunting cabin boasts a microwave, a small fridge stocked with beer and soft drinks...”

The fool needs to learn that alchohol and gunpowder don’t mix.

Pat Highley?

With a name like that he should work for the TSA.

No mention of the feeding station, it seems to have been forgotten

Good for him. He’s spending his money the way he wants to spend it, as it should be. More power to him.

To be honest, I’m kind of jealous. That’s a happenin’ shack.
