Default Blind?

Can anyone recommend a hunting blind? I will be using it for bow and rifle hunting.Mostly for deer, maybe for turkey or coyotes as well. I don't want to break the bank either.
thanks.

It really depends on how many people you want to fit in the blind but I would take a look at the Ameristep if you dont want to spent a lot or Double Bull if you do decide to spend a little extra

I have been particularly impressed by the Big Game Treestands line of blinds. The Escape DX is the model I purchased last year for both turkeys and deer. It is very well made and the perfect size for either bowhunting or gunhunting. Lots of nice little extras as well. Price is in and around the $150-$175 range. Definitely affordable for many folks.

I purchased the Escape DX about a month ago and love it. I am actually sitting in it right now. I had a small doe this morning walk right up to me and bump his nose on the screen. I purchased mine from Bass Pro. It is 149 if you go to the stores but they have it on Basspro.com for 119. I printed the page and went to the store and bought it.

I just got this weekends sale ad and they have the Escape DX on sale for $69. That is a great deal. I just purchased mine about 2 months ago but for that price I might pick up another one just to put in the attic for a few years.

I would recommend a Double Bull T5 or Matrix they are very well built and well worth the money.
Easy take down and set - up in seconds and packs up , easy to carry duffle bag.
Talk to gregholland in the classifieds he's a straight up and honest guy thats sells these blinds on a easy payment plan.
Don't forget to tell him RDHunter sent ya.

Double Bulls look great, but for $400? Too much for my blood. I will stick with my doghouse and homemade portable.

I use Ameristep Brickhouse TSC (Total Scent Containment) Love it. I will buy another one if this one ever wears out. I use mine for deer and turkey hunting.

I just bought the Double Bull. Very pricey but will be worth it. I hunted out of a friends and it has to be the best on the market.

I have a Ameristep doghouse that I will get rid of if you are interested. It was only used once. The only thing wrong with it is that one of the ground anchors pulled through when I put the anchor pins in it. Can be resewn, just haven't messed with it. PM me if you are interested in buying.
