danny,
thanks for the info, where did you purchase yours and do you mind if i ask what the price range for theses r
I purchased it at Walmart 2 years ago for $129. I have owned a few now and I really like the hub style (brickhouse)the best. They are more stable in the wind and it has been great in the snow and rain. The downside is that they are slightly heavier. I think the Brickhouse is like 14-15 lbs
I have hunted out of it for 2 years now and I usually bring my daughter and 2 camp style chairs and there is plenty of room for both of us while gun hunting.
The key to most blinds with deer (i don't know how it is with hogs) is to cover it in. The Brickhouse has many loops to attach natural vegitation to it so you can conceal the blind.
Like i said the shoot throughscreens are noisy when taking them down or putting them up. When using it on a one day bow huntwhere i will be taking it in andout with me I usually put up all the screens before i go out. If it is a gun hunt i take all the screens off before going out. Then I always leave the windows behind me closed so I am not showing a silhouette to the deer.
The blind goes up and down quickly. realistically it takes me about 1 minute to put it up and the same to take it down.
One other bad thing. My daughter usually gets so comfortable she falls asleep. Missed a deer on youth day last year because i couldnt wake her
