I have this place I can hunt but can't use any treestand there. I was thinking about getting a ground blind for there. I can't afford those real expensive ones so I was looking at Ameristep Brickhouse TSC. Has anybody used one? I wonder if it would be any good for bow hunting. What do you guys think?

They can be had for around $130.

I'm wondering more about the demensions. If they are good enough for bow hunting. I'm 5'9" tall (short for that matter...lol).

Dimensions are roughly 5'x5' and 5 1/2' tall in the center. Looks like a great blind and it has the shoot through windows. Guessing you have about a 27" draw? Shouldn't be too much of a problem shooting from inside especially since this blind has corner windows. You can sit more towards the one corner and have even more draw room.

Had a great time gun hunting out of mine last year (Hunter's View Doghouse) - can't wait to get in again for bow season.

It would be a GREAT place to go to on a rainy day!! I have been tempted to get one. I believe the brickhouse is the one that is charcoal lined for scent control.

an alternative to buying a blind would be to just make your own out of the natural surroundings in the area you plan to hunt...for that matter, you can just find yourself a fallen tree and hunker down in the tree top or even in the root wad...it works great, i do it all the time...

Thanks guys. I think I'm gonna order one. Not to sure what the differences are between the Doghouse and the Brickhouse. Just that WalMart (online) has a killer deal (I've been pricing them) on the Brickhouse. I think I'd be happy with either one. That TSC system is supposed to keep the scent down a lot. Maybe in the deep cold winter months we could even throw in a small propane heater. [8D]

My draw length is a cool 29" and my head is not cocked back at that draw. That's funny though...when fitted for my old LX they set me up at 27.5". Wierd.

And yeah...I do make natural blinds and blend in and such also.

OR....

You could build your own out of 1/2" PVC and camo material, add some mesh for windows and ur golden

I recently bought one for turkey hunting and love it. Plenty of room(6'1") and really fast to set up. Let me say though, that when rained on, it will collapse(and it is not waterproof). Actually, the directions say not to use it in the rain. But, having said that, it will keep you dry. Set it up under an overhanging branch so you can tie the center string to the branch to keep the roof up in the rain, and use the tiedown ropes on the sides.It will stay up even after it gets soaked and heavy. I really like mine. Good luck!
