Default Help me pick

I am going to be buying a new ground blind in the next couple of weeks. I will be using my Cabelas gift cards, so I have to get it there. I am going back and forth between the Ameristep Bone Collector, and the Primos Ground Max The Escape Deluxe. Looking for any input, good or bad.

I have owned 5 different brands and by far the Double Bull is the best.

I would love to have the double bull, but I have a price range I have to stick to.

Darren, funny you should post this question. I too have been looking at ground blinds. The two I'm interested in are the Yukon Tracks Enforcer and the Barronett Big Mike. Both of these blinds are in the $150.00 range and are 80in tall. The 80in tall is a big selling point for me because I have a bad back and the reason I got rid of my first ground blind was because it was so short, 68in, I could never stand and stretch, which gave me a horrible back ache. I'm not sure either one is available at Cabelas but you can google it to see where you can buy one.

Blessings.....Pastorjim

If you can't afford a Double Bull then I'd suggest the Bone Collector.

However, I should mention that the cheaper blinds you'll tear up and wear out over the years and the ones that you'll replace..... you'll find yourself wishing that you would have just bought the Double Bull in the first place! LOL!

Looks great, unfortunately for me 80in isn't that great of stretching room, though i'd have to make due as I believe that's the tallest they make. I'm 6'1 which comes out to 73in. Not exactly a lot of room for my arms, but it can be worked around
