Loosing a hunting, fishing and just plain good friend is tramitic. In my case it effected my fishing and bow hunting, I just don't go, or much. The love of being out doors and seeing wild life has kept me in the firearm mode of deer hunting even in the rain and wet sticky snows. I have 4 of these on our UPPER deer camp for those nasty days.



Just put on a slicker, tuck in the rifle, camera still and movie underneath and climb up in the blind after a short walk. My father in law who stopped hunting when his partner died (his dad) enjoyed the movies and thought it was neat to see the deer laying under a bush down range stand and shake the water off like a dog, turn around and lay back down.

I have two of these in the back yard and woods at home in the Lower. I have a third in the front yard too.



Then there are the 3 portable ones I can set up when I get access to a parcel to hunt. I hardly use the Ameristeps any longer zippers tend to freeze up in a rain followed by a cold snap or a wet sticky snow then a freeze.



One I took to a canvase shop and had them install a flap over all the zippers. Cost almost as much as the blind to have just one done.
