Advice on deer hunting blind
 
Ok, I know that a Double Bull is the best blind.

But are there any other quality blinds out there that don't cost $400...like maybe in the $200-$250 range.

Or should I just bite the bullet and buy a Double Bull?

Make sure they're roomy enough to draw a bow. The Ameristep Doghouse claims to be but isn't, it was cheap and it'll do for turkey hunting.

The funny thing is I keep reading Double Bull, Double Bull but when I talked to our Antelope Outiftter in Wyoming last year he basically said "Yeah the Double Bulls LOOK nice, but they got pummeled in a matter of a couple weeks out in the elements".
He uses all Eastman blinds and flat out said that they are MUCH tougher and will take the beating that the winds can dish out on the open terrain in WY.
He no longer uses ANY Double Bull blinds.

To me that says a lot if you plan to not baby your stuff............I don't know 1st hand either way because I don't know much about them and don't own any pop up style blinds yet. Just relaying that info from a guy who relies on blinds for his business.

Correct me if im wrong but I think the ASAT blinds are made by Eastman. They look damn close to the double bull blinds for a lot cheaper.

I got a Yukon Tracks Dominator from sportsmans guide. It is larger than the doghouse. large enough for me at 6'2" with a 29" DL to comfortably draw my bow. I've had it for 3 years. At times it has been left out in the weather for up to 3 months at a time. Its pretty tough. And I think I spent less than $100.

I got an Ameristep Doghouse for Christmas awhile back, although they say it's big enough to bowhunt out of, I won't. The windows are too low for me to shoot out of unless I'm kneeling on the ground.
