That's it, I'm cutting a hole in the bottom to find out...... Do you suggest a hinged 'trap'

No just a bench seat with a cover over the hole to keep the draughts out, a blaze orange bucket as a target underneath, and one of those Norden sight thingies.

I got caught out once with an attack of the skitters while sitting out in a shooting box (shiiting box?) similar to the one as shown in the post located in the old east germany. My cags were fully down and I was half hanging out of the box as you can maybe imagine doing my business when a good buck showed up at 100m so I crept (or was it crapped) back into the box with my cags still at half mast and dropped the buck.
I will never forget that day.
I left the gralloch until I had been collected and I could take the beast back to the larder on health grounds.
I told the head stalker to not take any stalkers to that box for the next 2 weeks.

Believe it or not that used to be the only toilets around at track level on the Forth Bridge - they were called Thunder Boxes! Unfortunately they weren't over the shipping channel so you couldn't "dump" one on any passing navy ship.
Now long since gone

I finally finished this on the weekend and it turned out ok. Only spent £45 on sheeting for it the rest was stuff lying around/reclaimed or destined for the skip
Reminds me of Grandpa Potts shed in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Yes, almost.
Looks great - one observation that may not be applicable. The backs of those mud-guards could turn into ploughs if the tyres sink into soft ground.

I've shot several Fallow and Muntjac from a very similar box. All round vision right enough. Put an office chair in it, which rotates noiselessly naturally, and you are rockin'.
Good hunting.
