Sweet! Looks like you'll be the test monkey.:DKind a looks like the boogie man.:DThat group photo looks like something off the origanal star trek.:DGet yourself some brown shag carpeting and your there.:D

One of the last things I bought off ebay beforeI quit was a "scent lok" hood. It showed up and was a fleece hood this woman madewith a small velcro something or other cabon packet. I contacted her and said what's up, this isn't scent lok? Shesaid it was just like it. She even bothered me for some time to leave her feed back and tell everyone how happy I was. It was too inexpensive to giveher any grief over. I still use the hood part, it's warm.

I did a search on the internet and the only place you can buy these is on eBay!??
That's kind of weird. Can you return it for full refund?
I'd say double your budget and get something reputable.
You want to spend $70.00 and be disapointed in a POS . . . or get something usable for years?

It just looks too good to be true. None of the sporting goods stores have it. Be careful of eBay stuff. I sell on there a lot, but rarely buy anything.

We have the same feeling:)

LMAO!!!

Sorry, but I get ripped off everytime I buy from Ebay too.

Back on topic...this blind can't be any worse than the Ameristep POS they sale at Walmart. I am on my 3rd one. I keep buying new ones and returning the busted one for a refund. The sad thing is I have only used a blind 4 times this year. The hubs keep breaking and the poles rip through the fabric.

That's why I own two Double Bulls; you get what you pay for. Buy it right the 1st time IMO.

RE: Thoughts on this blind
 

I don't have specific knowledge of this particular blind. However it is a similar design many are using now and it is a great design. At the top of quality is Double Bull. I bought one this year. My friend bought a cheaper brand from Huntersview.com (Hunters Den model). I paid $400 for the Double Bull, he paid $50 on sale for his Hunters Den. His blew out the center pivot point where all the foldout arms attach to in its 5th use. Mine went to Manitoba and endured -20 degree mornings of being set up (set up is the process that puts strain on the foldout arms) and then the rest of the year here at home without problems. You have to realize that if you pay $50 for something like this, that's the quality you recieve. Not that they are bad. Probably many have yet to have a problem. But if you look at these pivot points where all the stress and strain are applied when the blind is set up, you will see some pretty flimsy plastic being used where metal should have been used. Let me also just kind of advise you on the shoot through mesh...I do like it, but be aware that it does obscure your vision a bit. You don't see your surroundings as well and in low light it is difficult to see very far at all. The Venom Extreme you are looking at doesn't appear to have closing windows and looks like it relies on the mesh screen entirely. If that is really true, I would caution you against this model.

I've been using the Ameristep Penthouse. It's big and easy to setup. Seems to be holding up well for the first year of use. The shoot throughs seem fine.A buddy sat in it yesterday and had 2 does within 5 yards. Now there's one less. They seem to control the scent very well. It ran about $180

I have one DB, looking for one for my wife and daughter to come out and sit next to me. No one will be hunting out of it, I do not want to spend $ on another DB.

Gary:

When do you need it? I could send my Matrix up for a while....if I can get it back by April (gobblers in April).

Let me know. Can't beat the price!
