i would raise it just enough for the barrel to clear. we never had a hot brass issue, except 2nd trip we put a moving carpet on the deck, ( we were up on a steel truck bed) to catch the brass ping noise
second pic you can see how it looks from inside looking out through the screen, and yes i had it up then to get some air flow

That just cracks me up. Some old timer parked his truck in the woods and forgot where he left it for 50 years. Must have been drinking moonshine.

Me and a buddy once built two blinds out of square steal tubing. The base of the stands were 16 ft in the air. The top of the wood blinds we placed on them were at 21 ft. We could do about anything we wanted in those blinds and not be noticed for almost three years. But then we started noticing the deer would stand off in the brush and look up at the blind before coming out of the brush. It sounds weird but I swear we always thought they were figuring it out after three years of being blasted from them. As long as we stayed still while they looked, they would wait a few minutes and start meandering out of the brush. Any movement at all and they would slowly walk deeper into the brush and go around our blinds. They were at two completely separate locations and got the same reactions. We could munch on doritos and hot sauce in those blinds while shooting them before they figured us out.
