Default portable blinds

I am considering a portable blind for turkey and whitetail hunting. What are your suggestions?

The Double Bull line. All of the models are excellent! They carry a little heavier price tag than most but are well worth the money, imho. If you hunt by yourself the T 2 would be a good choice, if you hunt with buddies the T5 pro or the new model, not sure what they call it, bigger size with shoot through mesh would be the ticket.

I have an ameristep doghouse it has room for two to sit comfterably, large windows to see from. Set up takes about 2-3 minutes depending upon whether you use the corner stakes which of course depends upon how windy it is. Tear down takes about 5 min. Packs into a nice back packable type carrier. Price is reasonable. Workes for me.

If possible, spend the extra $$ and get a Double Bull...
they are great blinds. Here is a pic of my DB on a hunt
out west...set up over a waterhole. The netting thrown
over the top is from a Army surplus store. Took my
buddy and I some time to figure out how to " brush"
our blinds in and still be able to move from setup to
setup when hunting whitetails and mule deer. No need
to brush it in for turkeys...it' s good to go!

If you get the chance see Double Bulls tape, it' s very convincing!

I will throw another vote in for the Ameristep Doghouse blind. I bought mine last summer and used it extensively this past season for deer and goose with very good results. It weighs around 12 pounds....easy to setup....very durable and I just saw that Cabelas has them listed in their spring turkey catalog for $70-$80. You cannot beat that.

I' ve got a DB T-5. It takes about 10 seconds to set-up, is very stable, and doesn' t flap in the wind. It is really put together well.
