Default RE: Which Blind???

Slate I know they are alot of money, but the Double Bull is THE finest blind on the market. My brother is a dealer and we have the option of using any, but the DB is LIGHTYEARS ahead of the competition and flatout WORKS! For turkey hunting they are plain cheating, lol. Turkeys dont pay them 1 iota of attention. The first two mornings of MO spring season this year my father-in-law and myself had two 23#ers on the ground within half an hour of daylight. We were 100yds from the edge of the woods, right out in the middle of a hilltop pasture that is a strutting zone. No brush, no calls, one decoy and two dead birds!
During bowseason lastyear I had a 145" 8ptr here in TN at 12 steps from my blind. Was early Oct and the leaves were still green. I simply backed the blind up under some overhanging oak branches on a beanfield edge and " watched in amazement" . I too have small kids and my oldest (7) likes to go and sit in a easy chair while playing his Gameboy. The black interior of the DB makes clothing color and movement a non issue. In fact during the hot early season lastyear, when I hunted from the blind I wore a black Tshirt (am a Harley rider so I have TONS of em, lol).
Many times I have had birds land on the blind. And squirrels will jump on it as well (scares the CHIT out of ya if you arent expecting it!). The DB doesnt reflect light like the " plastic" Doghouse and wind doesnt cause it to move around or flap. In fact the wind must be over appx 20mph before staking the DB down is even necessary. Most other " lightweights" or vinyl/plastic blinds will topple if you breath on them.
The shoot thru netting over the windows is REALLY awesome as well. Getting drawn (and having someone film it as well) is easy with this option. Its the closest thing to " being invisible" I have ever seen in nearly 20 years of chasing critters!!!

Good luck and hunting with your lil ones takes it to ANOTHER level for ones self!
