'Tis funny that mostly the same folks crying the blues over low wages and highcost of livingare the very same folks pumpin' hard earned money into overseas bank accounts.........and justifying it with their"tight budgets".

With that logic, the $40 it takes to buy the blind at Walmart...would be better spent at the grocery store meat counter.

We livin' the dream....................

I buy whole roast and cut them in to steaks myself

but for blinds, I am going to look around. check out pawn shops and the goodwill in my area you never know what will "pop" up.

but right now, I am in bill week. [:'(] can't get to the range this week. hunny do list and q-time with jess.

well i am a true blue american patriot. but no i will not be voting for obama
i will cast my vote fro mccain.

i think you might have mis read my post. i had a issue with frontier gander talking about how bad those blinds are since there made is china. when his computer and his shoes. clothes. heck just about everything is made in china i do not see him walking bare footed

i agree if it was not for walmart i would not have been able to start hunting. This year is differnt i was able to safe up alot of money for hunting so alot of stuff will come from cabelas or sportsmans guide. but my scent a way scent muzzleloader target alot of stuff i did not plan to buy there will be bought at one of three local walmarts with 20 miles of me.
I found my muzzleloader 100 bucks cheaper then any were else around here there.

yeap heck i bought a 13 pound sirlion roast because it was a dollar cheaper a pound then anything else it made the best beef and noodles i ever had the best pulled beef bbq and got eat by 5 people over5 days .
I cut alot of corners this year to save up for my hunting stuff to heck if i am going to buy something that cost more just because it is not made inchina by some kid when everything else is

People are funny Critters.....

Do you think fuel prices are high because you saved a few bucks at Wally World on your hunting blindand the oil companies think you can afford it now?

Fuel prices are high because China is buying every drop they can get their hands on,driving the market off the charts. They can afford it because we've pumped so much money into their economy buying their cheap crap to save ourselves a couple of bucks. With the higher cost of transporting goods to sale comes a higher cost of those goods...a win/win for the bean counters. Inflate the cost of goods to "cover" the higher cost of shipment and you've just created an easy windfall none of us are willing to realize......

EVERYONE is to blame for that, not just the guy who wants a hunting blind, or a family that needs shoes. There's little choice to buy anything BUT chinese made products these days BECAUSE we've let it go so far into the crapper. We shoulda smartened up a long time ago and fixed it then. Now it's acceptable to keep spending money on chinese goods because we've no other realistic choice....and the vicious cycle continues to spiral downward.

We're our own worst enemy............

Given the choice, which thankfullyI am, I'd rather figure out how to hunt WITHOUT a blind than spend $40 bucks on a cheap POS from Walmart.

YMMV, obviously...........

For $40, i could buy that walmart blind and put 30+ lbs of deer meat in the freezer and not depend on steriod injected meat that you buy from the store.

$40 for meat at walmart gives me what, Maybe 10lbs of meat that has more fat than actual meat.

Hunting without a junk $40blind made in China gives me $40 to spend on other stuff to eat with that 30# of deer meat, and still havemoney left over......

30#'s, that's it?

That's an amazing return on your investment, I did 50 pounds of just sausage last season........

Depends how big the deer is.

120# deer i believe someone posted gave around 30lbs meat.
