Gravity Box Converted To Mobile Hunting Blind
An Illinois farmer and his wife have the answer to drafty, cold hunting blinds. They tow their converted gravity box, nicknamed the SniperWagon, to the field a few weeks before hunting season. On opening day, they climb into the heated and paneled hunting room and wait for the right deer to walk by.
He first laid 2 by 4's across the top of the old wagon with plywood sheets for a floor. The "cabin" on top has a carpeted floor, swivel chairs and a little heater. The windows are designed to drop down noiselessly for a clean shot.
"We used to put out tree blinds and freeze to death in them while the tree would rock in the wind," he says."Now we can hunt in warmth and comfort."
They enlarged the grain door and built a set of steps inside the wagon hopper that lead up to the top.
The Illinois farmer, who wished to stay anonymous, has plans for the mobile blind.
