I am looking for a good blind to use for next years bow season. What is the best way to pick one out and what do u go by? Only thing I really care is that its big enough for at least 2 people and is fairly easy and quiet to set up.

I was looking at the Cabela's Lightning Set Hunting Blind for $160



Then theres somthing like this which seems more basic for $80
Eastman Outfitters Carbon Pop-Up Blind





And lastly....would buying one used be a good idea or is it best to go new?

Hi aquakeeper, I hunt out of an Ameristep doghouse blind and find it a little small. Next year I will go with a roundhouse or penthouse or a bouble bull. These blinds are also big enough for two people plus I would like the option of being able to stand up to shoot.

I got a hunters view "lodge" I think its called. 7'x7' & I forget how tall but I can stand up with room to spare. Took 2 does out of it so far. I think if I had it to do over agan I would get one with the shoot thru mesh although I can honestly say that the deer never saw me in there. Last year I got an outhouse by Ameristep but it was way too small.
My advice I guess is make sure its big enuff. The one have now I put a chase lounge in it with the leg portion folded so its like a low chair & I could sleep in there.

Have been using a Penthouse for four years now,lottsa
room,easy to use,good people to work with![8D]

i have the T2 made by double bull...take a look at it...i like it. if u have your own property and the blind can stay out there...anyone will just about work. if u r looking for a one day, in and out, double bull

Def need somthing that is easy to setup and remove.....Going to have to set it up in the mornin and remove it after I leave.

Anyone point me to a link for this double bull everyone speaks of?

I've got the invisiblind 6 sec mag and so far it's great , the first time you set it up it might take 1 min

here's the double bull link

I'm hunting out of an Ameristep Doghouse blind. I can't think of a thing I don't like about this thing.

I had an outhouse and it was too small. I think the Doghouse is just right and it's a lot easier to put away. I practicly folds it's self up.

Aquakeeper,

I have the Doghouse and it works fine but where I use it sometimes the camo seems a little dark for the background. I am going to be getting a Double Bull for Christmas, though I haven't told my wife yet that's what she getting me.
