Hunters will have a roof over their head and a heater to stay warm. A ramp leads to the blind which is located on the site of a retired Waupun landfill where numerous deer and turkeys roam the area. It's a way of thanking these men for their service to our country and helping to heal some of the mental wounds of combat.
