Pallet Deer Blind

Building a pallet blind is a great way to use leftover shipping pallets.  Last year, my father and I used some pallets to build enclosures on the ground and would hold up the pallets using step-in fencing posts. We had small heaters in each one and used some tarps to seal them from the cold Minnesota wind. They are great for using on the ground to make wind breaks at the top of a hill, or for constructing nicer hunting shacks like the ones pictured below:


Great idea for making a low cost deer blind


Using pallets to create deer blinds is a great way to reuse an object often discarded.  Pallet deer blinds can be created using plastic tarps or rubber sheeting for the roofs or any other place you want to protect from the wind.  During deer hunting season in northern Minnesota, our weather fluctuates a great deal.  Deer hunting always takes place during the first weekend of November, and some years it is warm enough to sit in the sunshine without a heater.  But most years, it is very cold in this part of Minnesota, and having a warm blind to sit in and protect you from the environment can be the difference between getting a deer, or missing out on one because of the harsh weather.
