Sooner, you can find the Doubble bull blinds in cabelas or bass pro.
no doubt, their the best blinds made, but also the most expensive.
I think the cheapest is the T2 which is $300.00. to rich for my blood<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

There are advantages and disadvantages to hunting from the ground, as others mentioned it is far quicker to set up on the ground and you have far more freedom of movement if using a blind. I set up on the ground a lot with and without a blind, in both cases the wind can be your best friend or your worst enemy. On a day without wind you can not setup on the ground on a high spot because your scent will diperse in all directions downhill. With or without a blind on the ground you have to be very aware of any movement when the deer are in close, especially when you draw, never move or draw until the deers head is down or behind a tree. To me huntng from the ground is a true test of your nerves when a deer is in close, one mistake when you are on the same level as the deer and you can bet you will be busted, the only thing hareder than hunting on the ground is stalking which is the extreme in bow huntining.

I have also been interested in ground blinds. I checked out Double Bulls website and on the T2 which is designed for whitetail hunting, according to the description, but is for hunters 6'0 and shorter. I'm 6'4 and am having a hard time finding a blind which will not hinder my ability to shoot. I shoot a Q2XL (38&quot; axle to axle) with a 30.5&quot; draw length. Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks and good hunting!!!

Hey guys correct me if this isn't true or you found it to be not true.

I have read and heard that whitetails are VERY leary of ground blinds. Not natural ground blinds but the tent type. All other animals elk/turkey included aren't bothered by them at all. Any thoughts?

TWANG I feel they are leery of ground blinds that have just been set up. I personally wouldn't use one of those large ground blinds unless I had it set up at least 2 weeks before I planned on hunting there. I either go with natural cover or set up blinds weeks before the season.

whitetails are leary of them true. but I can tell ya for sure,
these turkeys around here are leary of them also. it's best to
set em up in as much cover as possible, and still be able to shoot.
I have a home made fully in closed blind that i use for turkey huntin
and I do like tazman said, i set it up several weeks ahead of time
so they want be so leary of it.
but for deer huntin, I'm climbin a tree as long as I'm able<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

As a dealer and user of Double Bull hunting blinds I can attest to there effectiveness. True, they are expensive as an initial purchase but the years of service you get from a Double Bull will be worth it in the long run compared to scrapping a cheap blind after a year or 2 of use and you'll appreciate the quality when your in strong gusty winds and your blind isn't caving down or flapping in the wind. The new Predator Deception camo on the T5 ProStaffs and the T2 blinds blends very well in almost any environment. For whitetails I'd reccomend getting the optional shoot through netting for the shooting windows to hide the dark window shapes from the deer. I've sold close to 100 blinds in the last year and have yet to hear a customer complaint about the blinds. Most of my sales are on Ebay but within the next week my site at huntingblind.com will be live and feature all the Double Bull line plus Rocket broadheads. For the taller hunter I'd recomend the T5 ProStaff recurve model which is 6&quot; taller than a regular T5. With any model you'll need to shoot while sitting on a stool or kneeling. I'd reccomend trying to be as scent free as possible hunting whitetail from a blind. A carbon suit is a good idea but not essential if your clean and use a scent eliminating spray. Close the silent window flaps as much as possible to keep breezes from drifting your scent around. A blind is the best way to hunt those spots that don't offer a decent tree for a stand site and it's a GREAT way to take a youngster hunting.
