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?

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.

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.

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.
