This month in Country Lines, we announced the winners of our state wide Tricked Out Deer Blind contest. Unfortunately, none of Cherryland’s members won, but they still had some pretty sweet entries. Check them out below.
A Deer Blind for the Whole Family
Submitted by: Jeremy Swift from Interlochen
About Jeremy’s Deer Blind: “This portable deer blind can be hooked up to an ATV, tractor, or any vehicle with a hitch… to be placed any place on one’s hunting grounds with ease. It will be a delight for a vegetable or fruit stand with its detachable shelf. Can be used for a bus shelter after Dad is done hunting. Truly a blind that the whole family will use and love!!!!”
A Deer Blind with a Twist of Lemon
Submitted by: Kathy Couturier
About Kathy’s Deer Blind: “Last summer my husband and kids built a deer blind. First they took an old apple crate and put a top on it. Then they made a hinged door on the side. It was completed with hinged plexiglass windows. My oldest daughter said, “Dad, that looks like a lemonade stand!” So they went with the idea by writing lemonade above the window and 75 cents below. For the next step my husband took a loader and made a hill twenty feet high which overlooks a food plot. Dad and a friend carried it up the hill to set it in place. Our seven year old daughter and six year old son deer hunted in the lemonade stand. Even their aunt had to try it out on opening day! So if you are ever out in the wilderness and come across a lemonade stand, hopefully it’s open so you can quench your thirst!”
A Deer Blind for the Generations
Submitted by: John Willis
About John’s Deer Blind: “The history of this deer blind extends back almost three decades. Originally, this deer blind stand was my daughter’s first tree house that she helped design & build & paint when she was 6 yrs old. Last year I dismantled the treehouse, and hauled the legs, decking, roof and most the internal framing to our cabin in the UP. It now stands proudly once again as my deer blind, just like it did almost 30 years ago. My daughter now lives in Colorado with her husband & newly born son. Hopefully, he will be able to one day hunt with grandpa in his mom’s old “treehouse”. I look forward to sharing this story with him.
(Also, I have a picture of my daughter in the tree house when she was 6 yrs old.)”
While these Cherryland submissions may not have won the contest, we still think they’re pretty cool. Have a cool deer blind story? Let us know in the comments below.

Very cool.
Love the new CEC website design and FB page.
Great job on the new site!
Just a suggestion for the outage center on here that you could send out a mass text to those that have cherryland electric whenever you perform maintenance or a outage in the area. If you are in the area of the outage you can’t check this site.
Love the site..Great Job.. Specially like the outage page being right there when I log in.
I admire how creative people can be, even with something as practical as a deer blind.
Great website.
Like the website and love the tricked out deer blinds!
The new website looks nice and it is easy to navigate 🙂
I like the portable deer blind for the whole family to use. I like the cherry red color too! Good thing that deer are color blind. Oh, I also like the new website and the easy comparison of usage analysis tools.
Cherry land needs it own blind propped up on some electric poles!

As a new member of the co-op, I can say I have been very pleased with our service.
It’s nice to call in and talk to a person, not a machine! Nice website too.

Man, Nice blinds…sort of “Glamping” but cant think of a term for it in the hunters lingo 🙂
All of those blinds sure beat sitting in a plain aluminum stand in tree
Like the website! Great articles. Happy Holidays!
We love this website. Jerry enjoyed seeing his blind on the site. Love to have a credit on my bill~as others said before me~every bit helps… Thank you!
I always enjoy reading the Cherryland Magazine…and then I pass it along to my dad who lives in Gladwin because he enjoys reading it as well. He particularly liked this article about the deer blinds.
“Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone & a Blessed Christmas!!! “
could be an idea for a reality tv show!
These blinds are a far cry from the days of finding a nice clump of brush, saplings, ect. to hide behind.
Wish I had seen the ad to submit deer blinds. Not ours but a friend has such a “tricked out” one that my husband calls it a “condo”! Has heater, recliners and carpet. Thinking about moving in 🙂 Great additions/updates to the website.
