Hi folks ! I could sure use some help, I'm wanting to purchase a ground blind but not sure which is the best BANG for my buck. Any suggestions out there? (My wife wants to go turkey hunting .... $*&*^*(_*&%^$)

Sorry to hear about your wife... wanting to go along that is!
Someone else will have to give you blind suggestions.

I use the ameristep doghouse. It works for me and is cost friendly. They normally run about 100, but i found mine on ebay for 65.

Me and my lady hunt together all the time... I think its a blessing. I miss her company when she's not there. Certainly helps them understand some of the $$$ going into hunting when they are in on it too.

At any rate: If you are just going to be gun hunting, than some of the blinds made by Big Game are a really really great deal. They are hub style, which means they are rigid, and won't get blown away in a fairly light wind. Set up is pretty simple. The deluxe version is $150, they have a slightly smaller model for $100.

The girlfriend and I bow bow and gun hunt. I bought us an API Terra XL, which at the time (and may still be) was the largest collapsable ground blind on the market. Both of us can comfortably bow hunt out of it. I'm 6'0" 185#, and she is 5'4" 115# and we both tend to carry too much crap with us. Blind is 6'6" high in the center... plenty to like about it. Cost is $300, which is still $100 less than a Double Bull at most places. Just depends on how extreme you want to get. I've started doing more and more deer hunting out of ground blinds than even tree stands, I really like them.

Get a Double Bull " Dark Horse " ground blind , it's big enough inside for two or three hunters and having your wife with you in the woods .... what a blessing you lucky guy.

Its alot better to tote around when your on the move.

While I agree with davs, those dont provide as good of cover IMO plus they dont protect against rain and wind. However they are also cheaper. I have an Ameristep Roundhouse 360. I love it! I take kids and there dads out in it and there is plenty of room. When Im by myself I have to be careful not to pull out the floor and stretch out and sleep. I beleive they still sell them on the ameristep website. They may not make them anymore[>:].

I have 2 Double Bull 360s and was never sorry I spent the money. Over time looking at the others you will know why!

Just all around better camo material, better contruction which will take more abuse.
