School Bus Hunting Shed SCHOOLBUS CONVERSIONS Schoolbus Conversions 18-6-9 Martin Dykgraaf, McBain, Mich., turned an old school bus into a deer hunting shed that he keeps on his 40-acre property.
He removed the wheels and axles from a Ford 66-passenger bus and cut it in half, first removing the middle window on each side of the bus.He used 2 by 4's and sheet metal to close up the end of the bus, putting the window back in and adding 4 in. of insulation. The floor is covered with a couple of old rugs. A propane heater is used for heat..
"It's airtight so it stays nice and warm," says Dykgraaf. "I keep the windows closed until I see a deer,then I reach up to let the window down and shoot. The bus has cornfields on three sides, and I keep apples, oats, shelled corn, green tomatoes, molasses, etc., on the ground near the bus so deer stay around it all summer. I mounted the bus on railroad ties so that it's about 16 in. off the ground. I. used the other half of the bus to make a hunting shed for my neighbor,"
