looking to make a stand to allow the dog to sit out of the water where we hunt. Anybody make anything like this? if so post pictures if you could looking to get ideas. Thanks in advance
 
Here is one I made a several years ago with scraps in my garage. I had an oppertunity to hunt some land the next mornign and had to do something and this is what I came up with. It folds up and has ropes on it so I can wear it like a backpack. It is heavy if it I had 1/4" ply that would have been nicer. It works and I still use it on occasion






 
Wesley,
Here is what I used to build mine. Not my own idea I adapted it from someone else.

I just put carpet on the top surface and painted the thing it works really well. Now when I hunt the marshes I put it in the bullrush put the dog on it and I sit on it with the dog. Me in front the dog looking over my shoulder. It works really well.
 
Brandon that is a good idea even if it is not yours im gonna look into getting one of those cause the ones that they sell that are made for hunting they are so expensive it is crazy
 
That was my reasoning for doing it. The cost was so expensive for the hunting version. Make sure you get one where the legs lock into the different heights not one that just presses into groves. Also when I say I sit on it. I "rest" on it. Takes the load off my legs and lets me rest but I don't place my full weight on it. Its nice though to have the dog behind the muzzle of the gun and they seem to mark really well with the shooter directly in front.
 
I made a permanent one in a blind I built using 2x4s driven into the mud (using as sledge hammer) and fastening a pallet to it, so it was just above water level. as far as I remember it lasted the whole season.


 
I might just make a couple perminate stands and leave em by the swamps we hunt like take 2 x4s and make 4 legs and have cross piece going from the top of the leg to the bottom of the other leg just for now cause we only mainly hunt two swamps where the stand is really needed
