I need something like that to park my ATV and hunt from the second floor.  If you could put that puppy on a flatbed so I could move it from field to field I would be one happy hunter.  Solar panels for the refrig, TV, stove and heater would be nice also.

OK guys,sitting in a condo waiting for a deer to wander by is NOT hunting,it is deer shooting.Get down on your feet,keep the wind in your face,and sneak around the swamps and ridges,then your hunting!Don't even get me started on shooting deer on a food plot from a house on stilts like those southern rednecks do.They blast the deer when it comes in to eat the food that the "hunter" plants then slap each other on the back like they did something great LMAO!
That greenboard is a very good system and is being used quite a bit,it did n't exist when I was still active.
Rich,how much space is between the boards,could you fill the void with expanding foam,scrape flush,then cover with wrap,then siding?If that works it'll be tight and breath through the wrap.I'm assuming you used faced insulation to keep the moisture out of the wall cavaties.

Not  fishing , but an adventure about fishing gear.  I am off to an auction with a TON of new fishing gear.   All lures of every shape, from jigs to trolling flashers to ice fishing .   It is split in lots so I may bid on a few .

Clint, Sounds as if you can pick up nice deals, good luck.
Jack,  I was just being facetious.  I prefer to post up and hope that my choice is rewarded.  To me hunting is much like fishing, knowing the land or water is the key to success.

first off, John that looks KILLER man !!! Nice that you turned it into a playhouse for the kids but if it were in my yard it would be a man cave shootin shack out my back yard..
 
Jack, I'm all about putting meat on the table.. Racks, while they are nice to look at , don't mean all that much to me.. We harvested 4 deer last year, 2 were for my family and the last of it is GONE !!
Only thing I ask of the property I hunt is "leave some small racks and they have to have meat on the ones we shoot"
All my life I walked the woods, braved the elements and sat in an unsheltered tree stand.. Last year I was glad to sit in the little comfort of my ice shanty while hunting when things got nasty.. I would have no problem sitting in a "shooting shack" ..
I do agree though, some of those tv shows are a little over the top and baiting is not an option for me..
 
Clint,
Sounds fantastic and hope you find some good deals..
I bought an entire sporting store out a few years ago, Taylor & Vadney.. They were getting out of the fly dept ,I'm still pretty well stocked..

Well I am home and I picked up a TON of ice fishing Jigs.   I got a lot of around 300 unopened items for $150.      It was a whole store for sale, it had closed in the 90's . Boxes of 50 Rapellas were going for between $100 and $140,   problem was you had to buy 4 boxes at a time so even though it was well worth the money I did not have close to $600 bucks or the ambition to resell them.   Everything from lake  spoons to Mepps spinners to whatever.   Over 15000  lures were sold.  Will post some pics  tomorrow of what I got and   See what you guys think.

Here is the lot of ice fishing jigs I got.   326 packages, each one marked at no less than .99 cents.   (Shop closed in the 90's)   Best bang for the buck was the jigging spoons which run 3 to 5$  apiece.   There are 50 of them.     Now to get some ice and get some of these.
