The Doghouse advertised for $69.99 in the Sportsmansguide is the 2003 standard model. The TSC model of the Doghouse is approximately $30-$40 more at most places. For the extra money you get the scent protecting memberane built into the shoot through netting on the windows as well as gear pockets built into the blind, a zip out floor and 8 inches more width to the blind (60 vs. 68 inches).

I am struggling with the decision of picking up which one myself. I had no problem drawing and shooting out of the standard Doghouse when I owned it but I like the added features on the new TSC model.

Hey Slate, I just bought an Ameristep Doghouse from www.natchezss.com last week. It came in Mossy Oak Breakup, has the new edge Re-Leaf, Durashell fabric, and Shadowguard liner with the mesh porthole covers for bowhunting. The price is $79.86. I seriously doubt you' ll find a better price on the Mossy Oak camo Doghouse anywhere. They are great blinds, my nephew has had one for a couple of years now and loves it. I plan on using mine for turkey and deer hunting when the weather turns too wet to sit out in it.

Dburnett ,
I have the Tangle camo Outhouse , and it works great . I find Mossy Oak a bit too dark for my taste , harder to hide it if light hits it . Tangle works best in heavy cover like where you are . The pattern really matches the brush well .

Has anyone given the Roundhouse a try? It is the only one I have yet to hear any comments on.

Thank you. I would appreciate that. I actually have a Penthouse so the Roundhouse would not really be a problem in terms of size and weight.

Thank you. It definitely did help. I am going to give some of the new models a try probably after the season starts. I currently have a Penthouse. Doghouse TSC and Doghouse model...and I think that should cover me for now. I hope to do a side by side comparison, with pictures, in the weeks to come.
