I just bought the new API ground blind. Thing is HUGE! Less money than a double bull....and bigger to boot.

I use the Ameristep Doghouse, got it cheap on ebay (55$)

Just remember Brush it in, brush it in, and then brush it in again.

I was using self-made ground blinds just made with deadfall, sapplings and the like...now those spots are even better b.c. i stick my ameristep in the natural blind, it has worked for me well, Deer and Turkey.

Good Luck

68days and counting...

My advice is to scout ahead of time and pick a spot to hunt. Dont get a blind because you can move around every couple of hours. You need to find a good spot and stay put. I have trouble drawing my bow in my blind because it isn't quite large enough. Make sure if you get one it is big enough to bow hunt out of.

I just picked up a Trekker t-200 that is 8" larger square than the doghouse because I was told it was hard to draw a 30" draw length in the 60" square frame of the dog house. I basically bought it to go into the thick brush that I hunt every so often. Will I need to brush mine in being I will be in brush all over?

I also bought it so I could take my daughter out.

My ground blind consists of a roll of chicken wire with cattails and grass threaded through it. It takes a while to make, but it's cheap. Also works well for duck hunting!

I have a Cabela's Full Draw blind. Pretty happy with it... The only thing I would change is that there is limited ability to shoot out the back of the blind - but I try and keep that in mind when picking the setup location.

thanks again, I'll brush it in good and go from there . I can't hardly wait.
