Hunting Blinds??


Thunderchicken

Recommended Posts

I'm looking into getting a doghouse style hunting blind this spring for turkey hunting. I've been looking at the Ameristep two sidded blind that has one patteren on one side and another pattern on the other. I have had no experiance with these blinds but would really like to get something to help with the concellmant. Any opinions on blinds would be appreciated

Thanks

If you use the doghouse for deer hunting. be sure to put blaze orange over the top of it. Because I was deer hunting I saw a 6 point buck and it was running and I shot 2 times at it(dumb idea) but did not hit it. But there was a hunter in a doghouse and I did not see him and I could of shot him very easy. SO BE SURE TO PUT SOME KIND OF BLAZE ORANGE OVER THE TOP SO YOU CAN SEE IT FROM ALL SIDES. (I am not trying to chew you out but for you own well being) good luck hunting. JUSTIN

THUNDERCHICKEN: I personally have used three different type of blinds for deer and turkey hunting.the ones with the coils in it for setting up,you dont want as they lose thier tension and are just about worthless.My personal experience tells me to always use a double bull blind as they are very well built and one time I had a service issue with one of the support rods, called double bull and not only sent me a replacement , but sent me three.IMO if you buy the ones that set up with the poles crossed on each wall you will have pretty good luck.Just stay away from the coil type,as all I have seen with them are problems.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
