I think there are more good blinds available now than there was 5 years ago.
Most of the items I have bought at Sportsman Guide were a disappointment. Maybe just bad luck, but it seems like the mart mart of outdoor outfitters.
I was once told if I wanted good clean oats I'd have to pay a fair price, but if I was satisfied with oats after they had been through the horse there were bargains to be had. A lot of truth in that statement.
I have owned and used several blinds and IMO if you really plan on doing some serious blind hunting over a number of years buy a Double Bull Dark Horse. All around it's the best blind I've seen.
