Default Low budget Bowhunting Blinds (Updated with a good deal)

Got any suggestions before i burn a little fuel tommorrow? I'm looking for something for Turkeys,to pop up on spot, big enough to shoot a bow, and relatively cheap. If you have a link to said blind please provide, Ill have access to a D I C K S and a Gander tommorrow and Maybe a Bass pro if i have too. Any suggestions guys? say somewhere around a $100?

Ameristep's Intimidator is an awesome blind for the value. $124.99, almost as big as my Matrix.

Tangle camo, shoot through mesh, hub style design...

I bought one for my dad for Christmas and he loves it. Doesn't flap too much in the wind, though it does shin somewhat. You'll definitely want to do something about that for hunting turkeys.

I was in Cabela's last week with jmbuckhunter and we saw a new one they were carrying called the Predator Max... it's positioned as a lower-price alternative to Primos's Double Bull Matrix (it has windows all the way around) and also has the All-Purpose Deception which used to be featured on all the Double Bull blinds before they were bought by Primos... it was only $129, and I thought it looked absolutely fantastic... nice features (bow hanger hook in middle of blind, a couple pouches inside, completely black, windows all the way around...)

For the life of me though, I can't find it on the Cabela's site right now.

x2 man. That thing looks sweet for a low budget blind. Im not sure on the durability part, but it looks good in a catalog.

Its in their spring turkey hunting catalog, but I couldnt find it on the website either.

If I didnt want to buy my Matrix, I would own that Predator blind for 130 bucks.

Maybe I'm thinking of another model. [&:]

Let me check at work tomorrow to be sure, but I'll get back to you on it bud. I know there are three I'm thinking of, $279, $169, and $124.

At Cabela's they are on sale and they have a few reviews that you might want to look at.
