from at least one window, fold down racks to sleep on, room for gun racks, food storage and a potty. It actually has two floors, one floor without windows for storage.
The bottom storage is open and working tools are stored there that he didn't mind someone stealing if they were able to find it. The other stuff is secured and the upper loft is insulated and has a heater in it. He has numerous stands of all configurations on his property that can be used by the younger fellers that are still paying their dues. Seniority has it's place and this is one of those places. Yep, this is the way we do it in Texas and it works great for us older folks. I normally pull my 5th wheel to his property so I don't have to listen to all the snoring.
Kids and relatives get to hunt free. Glad he is my double cousin. His mom and my mom were sisters and his dad and my dad were brothers. We come from large families and lots and lots of cousins. We meet on a regular basis at a selected restaurant for family dinners and visiting. Too many to get under one families roof.
