When selecting a location, make sure you have your hunting blind out of the line of sight of the animals. Place the blind so it forces wildlife to cross it instead of facing it directly when they enter the area. This will help you with concealment and to keep the wildlife away from discovering you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eSet-up the box blind as per the instruction manual. Unpack the blind and start spreading out all the pieces and get everything organized so you know where everything goes. Scatter all your pieces and make sure that you have all the parts to assemble the blind. To speed up the process, pre-sort all bolts, nuts, and washers. Another important thing you should think about is how you’re gonna shoot out of it, which direction you need to turn it, where do you want the ladder or how to access it. It’s a lot easier to build it in the direction that you wanted rather than turning it around later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.

Just make sure you have your ratchet strap, anchoring cable and 3-4 friends that are ready to help you out. You need to check what is the best height for your stand or how far you should put it up in the air. You need to be up above the deer’s line of sight where they can’t see you and high enough where you think the wind is gonna be dispersed better. For bow hunting, 10 ft. is recommended because too high means too acute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eTractor or Skid Loader\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eOne way to raise a box blind is with the help of a tractor or skid loader.
