RE: ground max deluxe ground blind
I have the ground max blind. I bought it on sale at bass pro for $60.00 or so. Its not the deluxe so its a bit smaller, I wish I had gotten the bigger one especially for bow hunting but I make it work. I really enjoy it! The first day I took it out a six point stood about 10 yards from me and didnt even seem to notice. I didnt even add any limbs or brush to conceal it even more. It does have a nice bow hanger mounted from the ceiling which is a really nice feature. I did make a few modifications to it. I bought some camo netting and put it across the large triangle windows. I dont shoot through it but I did cut two shooting lanes throught it and it seems to work great. Also I modified the bag a little since it is like the bag for most colapsable chairs. You fold them up and slid them down into the bad.....hopefully you know what im talking about. What i did is cut the stitchingall the way to the bottom and installed some metal feruls, like you typically see on tarps. That way I dont have to slide it out of the bag which is noisy. I just unlace my bag from around my blind and pop it up and im ready.
If you do get one work it through set up and tear down 10-15 times. It will also help quiet it down when popping it out.....oh yeah and the fabric on it is so much better than my other blind. My ameristep is made out of the tent material. The ground max is really thick and does not flap in the wind like my other blind. I know everyone swears by the double bull's and im not knocking them at all. I would love to own one, but it just out of my price range. The way I figure it if I bought a double bull I would have to work more and hunt less to pay for it...and that dosent make much sense to me. For the price I feel that the Ground max is the way to go.
I hope this helps and sorry for rambling on and on. If you have anymore questions ill check back on this thread. Best of luck and happy hunting!
