    Still more work to do on this but you should get the idea. Hope to make some more similar to this.

    I think that may just be the ticket for that big boy this year.....I remember when Cathy and I were up the deer were hanging close to the wood pile area.

    I thought about doing that with our land. There is a lot of deer that come out right by where I stack our firewood.

    I had thought of doing what you did Dennis. Then I thought of the snakes that hide in my woodpiles. With a roof, and open windows/door, I'd imagine other critters will set up shop in it as well.

    I guess that makes me a sissy. I don't like snakes.

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one thinking about this. I'll be happy to let you guys know how this works out. I hope to get at least 2 more built before September.

    As for critters bocefus78 I'll be checking as entering but do not expect to see any problems other than mice.
