RE: Decisions, decisions...
Honestly I know it isnt the cool thing but I really still just cant justify the cost of a DB blind. I have my ameristep brickhouse and it is LIGHTYEARS ahead of the doghouse. I have abused mine for a full year now and really make no effort to take care of it in any way and it keeps working flawlessly. It has shoot through windows is a hub style like the DB, keeps the rain off me, is black inside, and even with my 30.5" draw length and a 11" stabilizer I have plenty of room to draw in it any way I want even with another guy in it. For $100, I would get a brickhouse blind and spend the rest on stands. The cameras are cool to take inventory of the deer herd but dont influence where I hunt really........its just cool to see whats out there where I hunt. I would get a brickhouse and spend the rest on those $30 lock on stands from Dicks sporting goods I posted about earlier this year. I cant imagine hunting with only 2 stands, I have 11 stands now on my property of 130 acres and around 15 stands on the other property of 160 acres..........without the stands I would have to disturb everything every time I wanted to hunt. I have 2x climbers that I love but they are noisy and I love to hunt close to bedding areas so its tough to do that without disturbing everything with a climber. Its also nice to be able to have stands that you know haven't been disturbed or hunted for a year or two.........you can't do that without having lots of them.
Hope this helps.
