Decent ground blind, decent price

[hockeybc69]

A friend texted me and asked if he could borrow my ground blinds with the pending rain this weekend.

I told him I need them for us.

He asked where and what he might be able to get for a decent price.

I have a pair of Doublebulls, and to be honest, since I got them, I havent even peaked at new brands/models/prices. I told him I would ask on here for some suggestions.

Doublebull is not an option for him. So whats out there for a decent price, thats not going to also fall apart after a year.

Thanks.

I have 2 of the Ameristep doghouses and they have been working good. Have had the 1 for 5 years now.

Some time "re-decorating" a likely looking place. Bring an axe and a saw and a pruning shears, do some work, have a good blind.

I have the Ameristep Brickhouse and like it. Really fast to set up and take down.

I bought the Primos Eclipse last year for a little over a hundred bucks. Big, roomy and easy to set up and take down.

For the rain...Wear Rain Gear...

I built a few of these ground blinds two years ago, and i use them throughout all seasons.

Get some of these camo leaf cut sheets. Link

I have 3 different colors for different occasions. Wheat Field is the one pictured above.

Then get some cheap stakes from FF.

Zip tie the camo blanket to the stakes. One on each end, and one in the middle. Roll up the blind. I always carry a back pack hunting, so this blind will lay in my back pack straps. Weight is about 1#, maybe 3# soaking wet.

When you find your ideal spot. Set up happens in less than 1 minute. I like to use two of these blinds so i have a nice big blind area blind with full 360 degrees of coverage. I use a swivel chair, and absolutely love it. A little wind movement and your completely conceled!

I shot this buck with the flash on and he couldn't tell I was there. I repeated the mistake when the next buck went by. Had a fawn within 10' of me, and 30 turkeys move into that stand site also that day. I never leave it in the field, though you could. It also works great to set up during a drive while your posting. Excelent concealment for the little effort.

Pile some brush, corn stocks, etc for even better camo.

Here's the fawn. Dead center in the picture.

Ameristep is probably going to be his best bet.

I have the Ameristep 1 person chair blind. Works pretty good. It has one of those folding camp chairs that the blind is built off of. A bunch of the other, you need to bring your own chair as well. I like the fact that it is all one piece and I don't have to carry too much out on the stand.

I am trying this same method this year for the same reason Truth mentioned, you can have a couple of these out in the woods really cheap and it's super light. FF has a few different camo patterns in 12' lengths, could probaly make 2 small blinds out of that.

I forgot to mention,,,, this is for two kids.

A roof is mandatory for any level of comfort and duration of the hunt.

I just bought the Ameristep Brickhouse I believe. $100 at Fleetfarm. Great buy and has plenty of room for two smaller kids and an adult.

I bought the same blind but it was $79 at dunhams sports.

i've got the brickhouse as well, works great when my two sons want to sit with me. plenty of room.

The Ameristep 1 person "Outhouse" or "Doghouse" (Can't remember which) about $30 to $40 at Fleet Farm. Just toss it up in the air and it comes down set up. Folding it up takes a practice session as the instructions look like they were drawn with a paint roller.

I have the Ameristep Tomtaker, but they aren't that durable, my one pole broke when I hit it with a turkey load from < 1/2"... Oops!

I do like it, have to be careful when swinging on a running critter that your barrel stays out the window.

I just picked up the Ameristep G2 from gander, $49.99 plus tax, very impressed with it. I only bought it because of the rain/snow they are forecasting. The web only price was $49.99, but the store matched the price.
