Double Bull.

If you're hunting with a shotgun you honestly don't need a blind, but thats assuming you're toting a shotgun.

Double bull is the best if your Bill Gates or Donald Trump, but I am not and cannot afford double bull blinds. I have an Ameristep Roundhouse blind and it costs about a third of the double bull blinds and is bigger than most of them.

If money is not a problem, then Double Bull, no questions! Even though the Double Bull costs more at first, it is well worth it in quality! But if you just can't shell out that kind of money, I bought an Ameristep Doghouse a while back and haven't had any problems so far. I got it on sale for like $60 and have had it for two years with a good amount of use. The biggest problem is the velcro, way to loud! I dislike velcro so much when it comes to hunting!!! Also you can't stand up when bowhunting like you can in a Double Bull.

I let my elevated shooting houses double as turkey blinds by enclosing the bottom under the house. Nail plywood around it, leave 7 inch gaps to shoot from, put a door on the back, and paint it or do something to make it blend. I stuck leafy bamboo canes up around mine since it's on the river and bamboo is everywhere. Looks really good, I saved a ton of money, and killed a gobbler from it opening day. I had 5 turkeys within 15 yards of me today, never saw me until I dropped thestrutter lookin' for love. But if you don't have shootin' houses, I guess you'll have to buy a double bull, they are the best blinds out there.

The DoubleBull T5 or Matrix is the best , no doubt about it.
Those birds will walk right up to it with no fear at all , they really work great for turkey hunting.
Here's a picture of my T5 last spring.

Only thing I don't like about the double bull is that they are so friggin big and heavy. Makes them a pain to tote. The Ameristep ones are much easier to carry, just as simple to put up and take down, and are only about the size of a deep dish pizza when folded up. Most are just as roomy inside and they are about 1/3 of the price of a double bull. Just some food for thought.

For archery turkey hunting, the double bull Matrix is the best. Primary reason being that you can open one whole side, adjust the height of the opening, and you won't have any blind spots! Wear black cloths and you simply disappear inside! I've gone as far as to putting sticky backed black velcro on the front side of my bow so as to make it invisiable as well.

It would be the one you shoot a turkey out of. I think they would all work good,as long as it is black colored on the inside and you have plenty of room to move around in it.
