Default Serious duck hunting Louisiana style

Poor ducks....be sure to read the information below the photos...

stories duck blind 1st level hides 4 boats underneath and has room for 2 hunters and 2 dog doors. 2nd level has a full kitchen with fridge, 2 stoves, electricity for lights, living room with 2 couches and satellite, TV, theater seats around the "porch of the blind" to shoot 14 guys comfortably. Side porch has a running toilet and stainless steel grill for cooking whole ribeyes for lunch. All the mojos and mallard machines are hard wired to car batteries. 3rd level is the "crows nest" with room for 3. It's about 25' up in the trees and most of the time you are cutting down on the ducks.

Why bother to leave home?

Shame there are no photographs of the inside...

(eta) There are a couple of pictures of a similar but (apparently) slightly less elaborate lodge on this page:

It seems there are certainly some like that out there.

"to shoot 14 guys comfortably"

TV, fridge and room to shoot your friends? Well, so long as they are comfortable with the idea.

Of course, it must belong to Dick Cheney!

(We'll still be making that joke in twenty years...)

OK, the title of the email I got had a bunch of "!!!" in it, so I used that in the title. Har.

It looks like it could be from around here, though. I'm looking.

I'm impressed they have a satellite in their lounge.

Bad punctuation aside, what are "mojos and mallard machines" that you'd need to hook them up to car batteries, even if you've got power for satellite TV, lights, and a fridge?

The blind doesn't look all that far-fetched from the outside... Funny there are no photos of anything that the text claims it has on the inside. I vote real photos, inaccurate description.

It looks like the home of The Angry Beavers.
