I own two Double Bulls. The only element thats given me any problem was snow. Two feet on the top of blind and the roof caved. That's it. I've hunted in wind, rain, heat, hail, you name it the Double Bull has withstood it.

Now, with that said, I purchased an Ameristep Brickhouse ($149.99) for my dad for Christmas. About the same dimensions as my Double Bulls, but a lot less expensive. Awesome blind for the money. We may pick up another one or two of them later this spring.

Ameristep has several other options, more expensive than the Brickhouse, but bigger and better built.

Eastman offers several models in your price range as well.

My advice, stay away from the "pop up" blinds and get yourself a good hub style blind. Nothing is more aggrivating than having a blind, fully set up, in your basement for two years before finally accidentally getting it folded back up. [:@]Hub style blinds, with a little practice, can be put away in less than a minute.
