Time for a new blind !!

[sportfish]

I need to buy a new ground blind , I have a old Big Game blind that was great ! It took a beating but needs to be replaced after 7 years ! I was looking at a Ameristep bone collector blind for $135 , are they any good ? or give me another reasonable priced blind that can take some abuse ! I know some of them cheep blinds are just junk .

A lot of great blinds on the market however I go with the primos/double bull blinds.

I know the dub bulls are great but I would rather buy 2 blinds for that kind of money ..

Take a look at the barronett hub style blinds. The grounder series and even the Big Mike are really great blinds for the money.

Ameristep Carnivore

Rhino XP1

Double Bull... all great

I still rock vintage made in usa double matrix 360.

Canvas repairs can run a lot $ compared to new but you are doing great if making it 7 yrs.

They are venom on turkeys.

Also timing might be issue but scour classified adds and forums...some deals can be had if you time it right and are patient.

I have a double bull and a bone collector.

Frankly, my go to blind is the bone collector.

Much easier for me at lesat to set up and take down.

Lighter carrying in and out.

Might be more money but you will not be buying another blind in 7 years either. They are great blinds. The deer classic is coming up and at the A-1 shop booth you will be able to buy one for around $170 or 200 great deal on the blind.

I have used others and they just do not hold up or as easy to use these blinds. Double bull has very good in early spring blizzards and winds storms in NE, MI. Get to the deer classic

I have one of the upper line Primos and I really like it. Mine has the magnets to keep the windows closed and that is much better than the cheaper versions that seal with velcro as that can be noisy.

I ended up ordering a bone collector the cheeper one , I think I could destroy a double bull in 7 years . When you leave them set for months and the sun and wind beat on it nothing lasts. my big game blind had blowin up to a 1/4 mile away a few times and is still in a food plot right now smashed and frozen . My guess is It will come back to life I hope

Why not just build something permanent if you are going to leave it out for months. Pop up blinds are ment to be mobile and not stationary. It would be like setting a hub style ice shelter out on the ice all season. Just saying...

Check out the A1 Archery booth at the Deer Classic. They sell seconds and refurbished Double Bull blinds for way under market price.
