Double Bull Blinds
I really want to get one this year but man them things are expensive to the tune of 4 bills. To those that use a BD what model do you use and what do you like about it as opposed to say the Ameristep line?

RE: Double Bull Blinds
I was at the Wis. Deer and Turkey expo this past weekend and there was a vendor there that was selling factory second and return Ameristep binds. I got one like the double bull dog house. Has the TSC also. Cost me a wopping 40 $. For the life of me I can't remember what there name was. Got home and it is great just missing some standard ground pegs.

I use the T5 I believe it's called. I love it for moose hunting.

RE: Double Bull Blinds
I'n not that familiar with Ameristep's line of blinds, but I've
hunted with Double Bull's since '99. I just sold a older model (GH500 in Skyline Apparition) that did not have the viewing windows and only had the ceiling blackened. Once I sold it I ordered the new BS 5 in Green Deception, with blackened interior, and carbon rods. In addition, my dad, brother, and I also have a T5 in Deception. We've used these with much success hunting turkeys, mule deer, coues deer, and javilina...though it really wasn't needed for the pigs;). We do go to great lengths to brush our blinds in for all types of deer, from experience I believe this to be true for any blind. Pros- 1. Ease of setup. I can't imagine how it could be any easier. 2. Lots of room. Two people can comfortably hunt from inside and on days when I hunt from daylight to dark (which I do quite often) I can set up my own little "timber condo":) In addition, it's nice to be able to stretch after sitting for long periods of time. 3. Zero wind flap. I have hunted turkeys several times over years where the wind was blowing 35-40 mph. As long as the tie-downs are secure there are no problems. 4. Shoot-thru netting. We've had excellent success shooting several fixed blades and Rocket Steelhead's out to 30+ yards. 5. DB's Customer Service. From our experience, they are as good as it gets:). Cons- 1. Heavy to carry. That is why I ordered the carbon rods to save a few pounds and now use a old golf pull cart to haul my blind when possible (through open fields and pastures). I'm in a bit of a hurry and have probably left something out, but hopefully some of this will help. They are not for everyone, but IMO they are definitely worth the extra $$. Plus, with decent care, they will last for a lifetime of hunting. http://doublebullarchery.com/blind_bs5.html Two Beards |
RE: Double Bull Blinds
these are awesome!!! yesterday we had a hen turkey come in, no more than 10 yards. she was just milling around in the decoys clucking and yelping. They are amazing. I have a buddy that bought 2 and is now selling a T2, if you're interested let me know, I think he will let it go for a good price.
