Duck Hunting Dog Stand

[JHays1]

Anyone have any instructions methods they used to build their own dog stand. I primarly hunt in cattails and bog and want a way to keep my dog elevated and dry.

I know about the ruff stand and sport stand but would rather not part with the $160.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I really dont want to spend that type of money but am thinking of biting the bullet.

For a Boat?

A 2'x3' piece of 2" pink foam painted camo or with brown carpet on top.

I was thinking "DIY" at one of the big box stores the other day...so much easier to spend $20 on materials and make it yourself rather than part with 160 big ones.

One of those cheap folding chairs works well.

Any "DIY" ideas or plans that people have successfully implemented?

Surface Tension - what type of folding chair are you talking about?

I just cant think of a good way to make something that is manageble to carry and that will work effectively sitting in a cattail marsh, but have to imagine not everyone is spending the 160. So any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

We've used the small Otter sleds. We can skid the decoys to the pond and then use it as a small boat for the dog to sit in. We generally use a couple of floating bogs around it to stabalize it.

Good Luck!
