Well IDK about having to spend $200 to get a quality blind.
I bought one from wal mart a few years ago on clearance, like $80.
It's still in use today, many deer have been harvested from its confines, fits 2 people just fine.

But with that said, depends on the hunting you're doing, archery or gun?
I did end up buying a double bull, just because it's more conducive to archery hunting.
The full width shooting window IMO is a must for archery, portals are fine for rifle hunting.

We have 3 blinds set up, all on ag fields, none are brushed in.
If you can set them up early enough, brushing them in is not important.
It's the same day set up, same day hunts that usually require brushing in.

Also I learned the hard way, low light shooting in a blind with fiber optic sights..
Drew back on a deer one evening, first time out of a blind, couldn't see my pins
Needless to say, the very next day I bought a sight light.

Get stools that swivel, a bow holder for the ground and also some good shooting sticks.
Remember to rake all the ground rubbish out of the placement spot.

I tell you what though, having deer 3 ft from you on the ground is pretty intense.

EDIT> Just noticed this was in the archery section, get a good one with a full width window.
