looks good but I would have cut down on the windows size a bit. Thats opens up alot of light into the blind with a huge hole.

Nice tower. Is it a bow blind? If so, some deer will notice the windows open after they are closed 90% of the year.

Yes and leave it up all year so the deer get used to it.
Some deer may not notice they way it is now but some of the mature deer will not like seeing those windows open. I used to think they didn't notice that stuff but I have witnessed other wise more than once. Rifle blinds does not matter but bow blinds are much different. Solid blind though, I like the ladder and tower.

Hey guys! Thanks for all the comments. As Camogirl said which is my wife. I told her we need to make the windows small but as she said she got her way. I made the blind so everything was removable for easy transport and handling so we could handle it ourselves. So the whole thing just bolts together. We put together in the back yard so if any adjustments needed to be made I could do them here at home instead of on the lease. Once up at the lease it will be there. I added 12 volt red lights inside along with a white light on switches and also added 2 12 volt power ports for a 12 volt fan and whatever else she wants to use. I've now started my own blind which the windows will be smaller! LOL! I'm hoping to get her blind out to the lease in the couple weeks with mine not far behind hers. I almost forgot.. it's insulated inside with foam insulation which I painted black and we put camo burlap over the foam sure breaks up the black.

Nice looking blind but the deer are going to silhouete her much easier with those windows. She is going to have to be very still. Good thing is she got what she wanted and I hope she will enjoy hunting from it.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?
