Default Ground Blinds

I've always hunted from tree stands but am considering a ground blind as an option this year. Any ideas on reasonably priced blinds or any success stories? Thanks

All of me and my buddies have had every brand you can think of and nothing is better than a Double Bull Matrix 360. Double Bull is now owned by Primos but I believe the quality of the product is still the same. If possible try to get a Matrix 360 off ebay or somewhere else. They are the best.

You can try an assortment of cheaper blinds on the market and then after trying several you'll realize like most folks that you simply should have made the investment on a Double Bull. There is absolutely NO comparison! Save yourself the money in the long run and buy the highest quality blind from the start. The DB Dark Horse is my fav for now.

Yep, I have had one for a year and half now. I use it to hunt with the kids, rainy days, etc... so it hasn't had alot of use. Couldn't see spending a lot of bucks for a Double Bull as little as I use it.

Very True Cornfed!! I bought several different brand blinds a couple of years ago and some did not hang around long. The only 2 blinds I have left are a Double Bull T2 and the new Double Bull Dark Horse. Super Blind!!!

Being a gimp in a chair I love my Bush-in-a-bag personal blind. Just a different option. http://www.bushnabag.com/public%5Fhtml/bushnabag/

I've got a Double Bull and I like it.
I also have a couple of the Ameristep Doghouse blinds that I am willing to leave set up for weeks at a time since they are cheaper.
I've used both successfully.

I have the GroundMax deluxe also. It is easy to set up and is plenty BIG! the only problem I had was was when I set it up the same day to hunt the deer would come in to 45 to 50 yards and see the blind, start blowing and eventualy walk off. Being a new bow hunter im not comfortable with a shot that far. So if you get one try to set it up a couple of days before you plan to hunt it. Just my opinion.
